The homeless as objects of social discreditation
Article Abstract:
The task of addressing problems of the homeless is essential for Russia since the start of the 1990s in connection with the crisis of statehood and the decentralization of the management of the economic and social sphere. However, it might not be possible to conquer homelessness completely, but it is possible to reduce it to a socially tolerable and acceptable level by ensuring political willpower.
