The Perplexed World of Russian Private Schools: Findings from Field Research.
Lisovskaya, Elena; Karpov, Vyacheslav
Comparative Education, v37 n1 p43-64 Feb 2001
A study of 19 private schools in St. Petersburg, Russia, including ethnic, religious, and elite schools, found a precarious situation of legal contradictions about their status, dealings with corrupt bureaucrats, and financial instability. The current socioeconomic crisis will likely diminish their number and diversity. Private schools' survival depends on economic stabilization and protection of minority rights.
