I decided to list all the laws and regulations on youth policy in Russia to give you an idea of what exists and what’s been done so far. There aren’t actually that many. Below is a list with a brief description of each.

1. Federal Law On Public Associations, which says that citizens over the age of 14 can be members and participants of young people’s public associations;
2. Federal Law No.98-FZ of 28 June 1995 On State Support for Young People’s and Children’s Public Associations” (amended 21 March 2002, 29 June and 22 August 2004);
3. Decree of the RF President No.1075 of 16 September 1992 On Priority Measures in the Sphere of State Youth Policy (amended 12 April 1999);
4. Decree of the RF President No.727 of 16 May 1996 On State Support Measures for Public Associations Engaged in Military-Patriotic Upbringing of Young People (amended 21 April 1997);
5. RF Government Resolution No.551 of 24 July 2000 On Military-Patriotic Youth and Children’s Associations;
6. State Youth Policy Strategy in the Russian Federation (approved by decision of the RF Government No.1760-r of 18 December 2006);

In addition to the above, from 2001 to 2005 there was a federal purpose-oriented programme called Youth of Russia, which was approved by RF Government Resolution No.1015 of 27 December 2000 (amended 29 May 2002 and 6 September 2004).
