Abstract
What does contemporary social policy mean? Who and how formulates it? Which social groups deserve and not deserve the support from the state and the society, and why? Does the soviet legacy exist in social policy in the post-soviet countries? All these questions firm the basis of the class on comparative social policy which can be interesting for those who would like to understand the particularities of social protection and social support in the modern world, and want to expand their knowledge on public policy in the countries — former republics of the Soviet Union.
