“…Thus, society is frightened by the fact that families "will be deprived of children" as most families in Russia live below the poverty line. At the same time, people are also frightened by the fact that children will be able to call the juvenile service, report about parental abuse, or complain about other violations of their rights (Bystrova and Tcherni 2015;Desmet et al 2015). Society is also worried that children will be able to manipulate their parents and Orsayeva et al Egyptian Journal of Forensic Sciences (2022) 12:13 use these opportunities unreasonably and promiscuously.…”

“…The Family Code of the Russian Federation stipulates an administrative basis for taking a child away from parents (Article 77). The measure began to be implemented in the second half of the 2000s: the share of taken-away children increased, as well as the number of parents whose parental rights were terminated (Bystrova and Tcherni 2015;Dutkiewicz et al 2009).…”

Background The study examines children’s rights as a social and legal institution, adapting to the modern context, associated with new views on the psychology of the child and his legal personality. In addition, the study raises the question of the role of medical psychology and psychological practice in the juvenile justice system of Russia from the point of view of the foundations of legal regulation. The research outlines the problems of the implementation of the protection of children’s rights in Russia and suggestions for the legislative improvement of the mechanism. Through the use of the interpretative approach, the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child is considered as a source of soft law, requiring pluralization of practice pursuant to international rules. Results The comparison of the two key approaches to the Convention, the dual status of the child and the public/private dilemma, is a basis for studying current problems in Russia through discourses on rights of a child. The comparison highlights the limitations and peculiarities common to both Russia and foreign states clarifying possible strategies for improving the implementation of rights of a child in different countries. The article examines the current legislation, which sets incentives for the development of the juvenile justice system. The foreign experience has been analyzed and the possibility of its implementation into the national legal system has been considered. It was the legal norms that the research was based on. The analytical framework of the study relies on both qualitative and quantitative methodologies. The aim of the current research is to analyze the degree of protection of children’s rights in Russia, as well as the system of juvenile justice. This required the assessment of the current political and cultural context, as well as the moral aspect that affects the development of the mechanism for protecting children’s rights in Russia. Conclusions The practical significance of the research carried out implies the possibility of using the results obtained in the development of legislative acts in the field of protecting the rights of children and the juvenile justice system.

“… 5. The term ‘juvenile justice’ is actually shorthand in present-day Russia for a legal and political debate about the required reforms in family law that Russia, as a member state of the Council of Europe, is obliged to implement. According to scholars Bystrova and Tcherni (2015: 47), those who are campaigning against juvenile justice in Russia tend to depict juvenile justice initiatives ‘as attempts by the West, under the auspices of caring for the rights of children, to break apart Russian families and taint Russian traditions of child-rearing involving strict discipline (corporal punishment)’. They further argue, ‘The Russian Orthodox Church is one of the most vocal opponents of juvenile justice reform, and even the words “juvenile justice” are now perceived as menacing by the Russian public’.…”

This article examines the legacy of Pitirim A. Sorokin (1889-1968), a Harvard sociologist from the Russian emigration. The authors scrutinise Sorokin as one of the nodal points for today's moral conservatism. As a scholar, Sorokin has been relegated to the margins of his discipline, but his legacy as a public intellectual has persisted in the United States and has soared in Russia over the last three decades. This article examines Sorokin's reception in these two nations, some of whose citizens have facilitated the burgeoning transnational phenomenon of twentyfirst-century moral conservatism. Four aspects of Sorokin's legacy are especially relevant in this context: his emphasis on values, his notion of the 'sensate culture', his ideas about the family, and his vision for moral revival. The authors conclude that Sorokin functions as a nodal point that binds together individual actors and ideas across national, cultural and linguistic barriers. The article is based on a firsthand analysis of moral conservative discourse and documents, on qualitative interviews and on scholarly literature.

The Russian system of juvenile justice is based on recognition of the special needs of juveniles in the criminal justice system as well as on extra protection of their rights. Russia has a special law on prevention of juvenile crime and offending (enacted in 1999) as well as a specialized system of correctional facilities for young offenders. Some regions of the Russian Federation enacted the system of juvenile courts while others proceeded with judicial specialization instead of creating special courts. Since 2010, Russian authorities have started using a welfare model, which has proved to be fairly effective, in combination with external economic and social factors, with regard to the drop in juvenile crime, but effective in rehabilitation of young offenders. However, the juvenile justice reforms are now under threat from religious and conservative groups who see the system as state intervention into parental rights, depriving “good” parents of their children, for example, because of physical discipline.
