This article explores the bureaucratic, legal and economic dimensions of the neonatal care. Drawing analytically on the neo-Weberian approach in the sociology of professions [Freidson 2001] and the anthropology of bureaucracy in medicine [Berg 1996; Berg & Bowker 1997], we propose to analyse the medical documents and the practices of its composition as both a constitutive element of medical practice and as organisational infrastructure that ensures the coordination of different professional groups and their interactions with patients. Specifically, we define this part of the work of doctors, nursing staff and health care managers in the context of neonatal resuscitation care as a process of creating and modifying a 'paper body' for their patients, i.e. all the document flow that accompanies the processes of treating and routing the patient. Empirically, the study relies on qualitative data collected within ‘the Birth of the Patient’ project: diaries of included observations of a neonatal intensive care physician, ethnographic observations by social researchers, focus groups with neonatal intensive care unit staff and interviews with medical professionals and healthcare managers. As a result of this data analysis, we find that the documentary history of the newborn patient is shaped by multiple negotiations between different medical professionals and representatives of different health care institutions. In some cases, the patient's 'paper body' turns out to be a major determinant of his or her future trajectory of (de)hospitalisation. We also find that the formation of such a documentary biography of a newborn patient does not directly correlate with his or her clinical condition, but reflects the complex system of distribution of material and non-material resources that constitute the newborn care service and in some cases goes beyond it.

... The Journal of Social Policy Studies, 2023, 21 (1): 187-190 Zaman's work came to my mind as I was reading Pregnancy and Birth in Russia: The Struggle for Good Care (Temkina et al. 2023), as this book is a brilliant example of the sociological explorations into the unbreakable bond between culture and health -between the 'tight little island' of the ward or clinic and the outside world. ...

... Through the act of ritual, spiritual knowledge becomes inscribed in the body, and in that sense, spirituality is always embodied. In their paper on funeral and birth rituals in Russia, Mokhov and Novkunskaya (2021) draw our attention to the importance of transmitting knowledge about "ritual fractures". Ritual fractures can be defined as challenges that exist in the infrastructure of the organization of a funeral or birth, such as issues with existing rules, legislation, or transport. ...

... Отечественная система охраны здоровья матери и ребенка в настоящее время претерпевает структурные и ценностные изменения (Borozdina & Novkunskaya, 2022), становится более гуманистической и пациент-ориентированной. Растет и запрос на агентность со стороны пациентов, многие женщины активно отстаивают свои права в родах и заявляют о своих потребностях (Кукса, 2021; Ожиганова, 2020). Однако по-прежнему есть ограничения в получении поддержки в родах и проблемы в области этики общения с пациентами (Temkina et al., 2021). Так, присутствие на родах доулы или индивидуальной акушерки доступно только при оплаченном контракте в роддоме (Кукса, 2021). ...

... Speci c to childbirth in Russia were lower rates of partner and doula support during the childbirth (especially in the provinces of Russia). is is the legacy of the Soviet system of obstetrics (Temkina, 2014). e presence of a partner or other family member during labor was only allowed in state hospitals beginning in 2012; nowadays there is a growing trend for an increased number of deliveries with the partner present (Novkunskaya, 2020). ...

... It also set about slowly but surely rolling back civic freedoms, the independent press, and democratic reforms (e.g. by converting regional governorships from elected to appointed positions in 2004), guaranteeing favorable election outcomes via informational manipulation and fraud, repressing opposition forces, and ramping up geo-political tensions for the purpose of making national security and the restoration of Russia's great power status, rather than economic growth, the primary basis for domestic political legitimacy. Throughout, to avoid provoking social unrest it continued to selectively temper neoliberal welfare policies with elements of populism, corporatism and enhanced state involvement (Cook, 2011;Matveev & Novkunskaya, 2022), producing a social welfare system "neither purely statist nor neo-liberal" (Kulmala et al., 2014). Especially in periods leading up to elections, the regime bolstered payments to core constituencies such as the elderly and employees of state bureaucracies in order to secure their loyal support (Sokhey, 2020). ...

... The provision of compassionate care is a fundamental component of the work of healthcare professionals. Building caring and sensitive relationships fosters a more stable bond with patients (Fouquereau et al., 2019), can reduce patient anxiety, alleviate unpleasant procedures (Litvina et al., 2020), and increase the overall well-being of the organisational setting. Furthermore, Gray (2010) argues that emotional labour is a key component of nurses' role in making patients feel safe and comfortable. ...
