Summary
In most countries there are articles in constitutions and other legislative documents on granting equal civil rights to all citizens, often the principle of social justice is proclaimed. In any country of the world, there are categories of citizens, that require special conditions for life activity that, in practice, are not always provided. This is especially true for people with disabilities. In modern Russia, stereotype of perception of disability is partly preserved mainly as a restriction of human capabilities for health reasons, by virtue of which such persons are separated from the rest of society. The state policy of disability is mainly focused not on restricting the employment of such people, but on providing them with specific jobs and most favorable conditions for full inclusion in society
