Conclusions

• There is a high level of access to non-formal education in Russia

• It is based on the infrastructure and pedagogical practices of the Soviet period, but is transforming in response to changes in social and technological order

• Mechanisms of state involvement (mobilization) in non-formal education stopped working. Scale involvement and the quality of programs depend on the level of parents' education and family income

• In Russia there is a rather high level of availability of the Internet and gadgets for children

• The sphere of informal education in Web for children is currently underdeveloped, but the dynamics of change are encouraging

• Usage of Internet for informal education of children also depends on the family income
