After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the borders opened, the process of integrating the Russian Federation into the ‘rest of the world’ began, and a flood of human trafficking poured into the country. The phenomenon identified as the plague of the twenty-first century overwhelmed Russia. The US State Department has published a list of 19 countries where the fight against human trafficking is bad and Russia was among them. Our country [Russia] is not alone in this trouble. According to the TIP Report, the number of victims of the slave trade ranges from 700,000 to 4 million people annually. Perhaps, it is enough to introduce changes and additions to the current legislation in order to strengthen the sanctions for committing such crimes. Now the flow of crimes against minors has sharply increased as they are viewed as free labour and forced into prostitution and drug trafficking. It should be noted that the bureaucracy dealing with the problems of minors is very corrupt, including the guardianship and social services. Therefore, it is very important to solve the problem of trafficking in children and fight against this corruption (Mironov and Dolinsky, 2003).
