The definition of «social protection of persons with disabilities» is contained in the Federal Law «On Social Protection of Persons with Disabilities in the Russian Federation», which means a system of economic and legal measures, as well as social support measures that are guaranteed by the state, and are aimed at providing people with disabilities with conditions to overcome and replace restrictions life, and also aimed at creating equal conditions with other citizens and opportunities for participation in society. Since ratification, the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, the Russian Federation has undertaken to take appropriate measures to ensure that persons with disabilities have access, on an equal basis with others, to the physical environment, to transport, as well as to other facilities and services open or provided to the public, as appropriate normative legal acts. At the same time, in the Russian Federation there is no normative legal act containing a clear mechanism for implementing measures aimed at adapting social infrastructure facilities to ensure unhindered access for people with disabilities and other people with limited mobility, which allows officials to evade the implementation of measures creation.
