Interdisciplinary Environmental Review (IER), Vol. 1, No. 2, 1999

Abstract: Kitezh case study explores how several families with adopted children are building a sustainable village ''Kitezh'' in Kalujskaya region, Russia. Qualitative research has been conducted using 22 in-depth biographical interviews and participant observation during the expedition, which took place in December 1998. ''Kitezh'' community is the first example of an alternative institution for child development in order to help parentless children. It is a rural working spiritual community and eco-village that provides an education and home with foster families for orphaned Russian children from extreme social situations. Kitezh is a real alternative to the institutionalized care provided by the state.
