Abstract: This essay presents the discourse of ‘dignified ageing’ (dostoinoe starenie) mobilised by policy entrepreneurs in Russia in the fight for long-term care reform, which has been underway since 2017. Experts and practitioners have been voicing concerns about the quality of life and care for senior citizens in Russia and addressing barriers to and opportunities for improvement. Their master frame has been ‘dignified ageing’, which conveys multiple meanings and is aimed at mobilising the support of authorities and publics. We analyse public presentations and semi-structured interviews with reform entrepreneurs to explore their perspectives on ‘dignified ageing’ in the Russian context.
