This book examines, through a detailed study of Soviet residential
childcare homes and boarding schools, the much wider issues of
Soviet policies towards deviance, social norms, repression, and
social control. It reveals how through targeting children whose
parents could not or did not take care of them, as well as children
with disabilities, the system disproportionately involved children
from socially marginal and poor families. It highlights how the
system aimed to raise these children from the margins of society
and transform them into healthy, happy, useful Soviet citizens,
imbued with socialist values. The book also outlines how the system
fitted in to Khrushchev's reforms and social order policies, where
the emphasis was on monitoring and controlling society without the
recourse to direct repression and terror, and how continuity with
this period was maintained even as the rest of Soviet society
changed significantly.
