This book reveals a detailed picture of a society where childhood was celebrated everywhere, but children's real needs were often neglected by the state. The author Catriona Kelly, Professor of Russian at the University of Oxford, has based her book on hundreds of interviews, newspapers, books and pamphlets and unprecedented research in archives.
The book explores the stresses and joys of ordinary family and school life, as well as the experiences of children in institutions, orphanages, and in Stalin's camps. Catriona also examines the impact that historical tragedies had on children.
