A year ago, in connection with the more frequent cases of violence against Russian children adopted by foreigners, the General Prosecutor of the Russian Federation Vladimir Ustinov sent a recommendation to the Russian government over the need to sign an international treaty with states whose citizens adopt Russian children, and to establish a way of controlling the conditions in which they are living. The accreditation of a whole series of representatives from international adoption agencies in Russia was terminated through a decision by the General Prosecutor’s Office.
At that time, through an order from the Russian Minister of Education Andrey Fursenko, an Interdepartmental Commission was created “to ensure that the interested federal bodies of the administrative branch work consensually to realize state policy in organizing families to take care of children who have been left without the care of their parents, and in effectively defending their rights and legal interests”. This commission refused to extend permission for working in Russia to representatives of three American companies, dealing with the adoption of Russian children by American citizens.
