| Annotation | In Russia, charity started developing into a public welfare system after the transition to Christianity. Peter the Great played an important role in establishing the social welfare system. According to his decree from 8 June 1701, "charity issues for beggars, sick people, and elderly" started their existence. During the reign of Catherine the Great, decrees about public welfare were approved at regional level. This article outlines systems for social welfare, nursing homes and medical care for older people in Saratov region, Russia. (RH). |
