Abstract
This article examines the rationale behind prioritizing family-based care for children. The efforts undertaken by Russia’s state policy to reinforce and promote this principle and its application were discussed. Various legal means employed to protect the rights of parentless children to live and be raised in a nurturing family environment were summarized. Their diversity was specifically highlighted. Particular attention was paid to the most effective legal safeguards, including subjective rights, incentive measures, mandatory and prohibitive legal means, liability, and oversight measures. Since the existing system of legal relations is constantly evolving, they were all analyzed in terms of its overall dynamics across different stages, such as the emergence of legal relations, the exercise of rights and obligations, and the modification or termination of such relations.
