Over 700,000 orphans live in Russia, increasing at the rate of 113,000 per year. UNICEF estimates that 95% of these children are social orphans, meaning that they have at least one living parent who has given them up to the state.[53][54][55][56] In 2011 Russian authorities registered 88,522 children who became orphans that year (down from 114,715 in 2009).[57]
There are many web pages for Russian orphanages, but very few of them are in English, such as St Nicholas Orphanage[58] in Siberia or the Alapaevsk orphanage in the Urals. "Of a total of more than 600,000 children classified as being 'without parental care' (most of them live with other relatives and fosters), as many as one-third reside in institutions."[59]
In 2011, there were 1344 institutions for orphans in Russia[60] including 1094 orphanages ("Children homes")[61] and 207 special ("corrective") orphanages for children with serious health issues.[62]
