"The manuscript provides a deep reading of Nikolai Karazin's works and his relationship with Central Asia. Certainly, Elena Andreeva shows how Karazin's prolific creations have much to tell us about Russian imperialism, colonial and local society as well as Russians' self-identity as colonizers and Europeans. The work offers an original contribution to the scholarship on Russian imperial history and that of Central Asia, and Russian literary history also. Karazin's importance-at the time and now-is appropriately highlighted." - Jeff Sahadeo, Associate Professor, Carleton University, Canada "Elena Andreeva's book resurrects a vital if forgotten figure from the Russian past: Nikolai Karazin, Russia's Kipling, a multifaceted participant in Russian imperial expansion, whose fiction, journalism, ethnography and visual representations may well have done more than any agent of the Russian state to represent and popularize Russia's conquest of Central Asia to a newly literate Russian public beyond the educated elites. Archivally based and carefully argued, Andreeva's study of Karazin reveals the absence of any singular logic to Russian imperial expansion. In her analysis Karazin emerges as a vernacular enthusiast of empire who was able to reconcile a skeptical attitude towards tsarist autocracy with an idealized view of Russia's "civilizing" mission in the East." - Harsha Ram, Associate Professor, University of California, Berkeley, USA This book is dedicated to the literary and visual images of Central Asia in the works of the popular Russian artist Nikolai Karazin (1842-1908). It analyzes the ways Karazin's discourse inflected, and was inflected by, the expansion of the Russian empire - and therefore sheds light on the place of art and culture in the Russian colonial enterprise. It is the first attempt to interpret Karazin's images of Central Asia within Russian imperial networks - and within the maze of the Russian national identity that informed them. .

This policy note looks at the institutional architecture and organization of the child protection service delivery in Russia. The objective is to understand how a complex set of child protection actors regulated at federal, regional and local levels functions on the ground and it is intended to inform the policy debate in Russia about effective and efficient ways to organize the delivery of child protection policies and programs. For a closer look, two regions serve as case studies: the Leningrad Oblast and the Republic of Tatarstan. These two regions were chosen, first, because they both have lower rates of children entering public care than many other regions in Russia and, second, because they have spearheaded the child protection system changes but each in its own way, providing an opportunity to illustrate a variety of approaches that Russian regions have chosen to pursue. The Note focuses is on formally reported children who are left without parental care and have been placed under the state care (children in formal care; children in care or looked after children) and on families in difficult life situations, at risk or in crisis in need of assistance to mitigate the risk and/or overcome crisis and prevent family separation. The note is a follow up to several earlier World Bank studies on child welfare in Russia, including children with disabilities, prepared over in 2017-2018 as part of the Reimbursable Advisory Service (RAS) with the Russian Agency for Strategic Initiatives.3 It is based on the following sources of information: (i) legal and strategic documents at the federal, regional and local levels; (ii) official statistical data on children left without parental care and children in public care collected at the federal level: data on the number of biological and social orphans identified and recorded each year (inflow); data on the total (stock) number of children without parental care and data on the forms of their placement); and data from the Federal Databank of Orphaned Children, and (iii) information obtained through a qualitative study using a series of in-depth expert interviews with policy makers and practitioners in the Leningrad Oblast and the Republic of Tatarstan.
