December 31, 2006: Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a law on additional
measures for state support of families with children as a long-sought measure to improve the country's
demographic situation, the president's press service said Sunday.
According to the new law, a family is entitled to an additional state support in a form of the so-called
basic mother (or family) capital in the amount of 250,000 rubles following the birth of a second or and
any consecutive child.
In his state of the nation address on May 10, Putin highlighted a demographic crisis as the most serious
problem facing Russia and proposed radical measures to deal with it.
The United Nations has warned that Russia's population - which stood at roughly 145 million in a 2002
census - could fall by as much as a third by 2050, and Putin said it was falling at about 700,000 people
every year.
In an hour-long speech, the Russian President said demographics were a key issue for Russia's
socio-economic development, and identified three ways of dealing with a falling population: higher birth
rate, lower mortality rate, and effective migration policy.
To boost birth rates, Putin said monthly child benefits should be raised from 800 rubles to 1,500 rubles
($55) for the first child, and mothers should be paid 3,000 ($110) a month for their second child.
He also said the government should give women at least 250,000 rubles ($9,225) as financial aid following
the birth of a second child.
The Russian leader said women could use the benefit to solve housing problems, spend it on the education
of their children, or channel it into the funded part of their pensions, adding that the sum should be
indexed annually in line with inflation.
May 11, 2006: The Ministry of Education & Science called a meeting in Moscow with
accredited adoption agencies to inform agencies of new requirements and law revisions.
I. NGO Registration
All Adoption Agencies MUST REGISTER with the Ministry of Justice as international, non-governmental
organizations (NGO's) under a new law that was passed by the Russian Duma, the legislative body, in
April 2006.
II. Article 268:
Article 268 in Russia revises the old adoption law and also has new requirements for international
adoptions. We expect changes reguarding the submissions of post-placement reports, length of
accreditation and other revisions to the law.
About 65% of all agencies approved to work in Russia are waiting to receive re-accreditation and
MUST RE-REGISTER their NON-PROFIT STATUS with the Ministry of Justice.
