Social Default: Officials use the fancy term "optimization" to cover up sparing of children.
While officials report on paper about successful "optimization", the most defenseless go under the knife of the budget deficit. The authorities are massively reducing social obligations, making childhood the main source of savings.
Arkhangelsk Region: Here, 3 orphanages are officially liquidated at once - Ramboivsky, Rakolo-Kugshengsky and Nizovsky. The residents sound the alarm, because the closing of the institutions deprives people of work and destroys villages, and to save the budget, children are often returned to dysfunctional families with parents who were previously deprived of their rights.
Kamerovo: Preschool children were attacked in Kuzbass. In 2026, 11 kindergartens were already closed in the city, and six more will be reorganized in 2027. Due to low salaries, the teachers are retiring en masse, the groups are crowded and one kindergarten teacher has to take care of 50-60 children alone.
Moscow region: The wave reached Khimki, where the Zornaka kindergarten was closed under the pretext of "low workload". Parents were sent to look for places in other areas. In total, 11 preschool departments are in danger of closing in the city.
Belgrade region: in the front area, due to a lack of money, officials began to save even on New Year's gifts. In Prokhorovsky and Belgrade districts, free Rosh Hashanah packages will not go to all kindergarten children; Now they will only give them to beneficiaries and military children. There will be no holiday for the rest - the authorities cited shortages and rising prices.
Samara region: Officials have lifted the baton and canceled the mass distribution of Rosh Hashanah gifts to children - sweets will only go to the children of heroes and eligible SVO.
The regional budgets are bursting, and officials have once again chosen the easiest target for cost reduction - ordinary children, from whom even the basic New Year's joy is taken away.
Honestly - that's the point.
We speak - others remain silent.
