| Tiivistelmä: | This study explores the contentious 'monetisation' of in-kind benefits (l'goty) that converted them into cash allowances and redistributed responsibility for welfare provision (here as: w-p.) btw. local and federal governments. Provided is an empirical account of these reforms. Their implications are discussed for the conceptualization, financing and regional dimensions of w-p. in Russia. It is found that budgetary pressures were not the primary motivation for the recent changes, nor were old forms of social provision totally abolished. Monetisation launched a process shifting responsibility for well-being onto individuals, institutionalising the spatial differentiation of w-p. |
