Slutsåld

In the early years of this century in the Soviet Union there was a massive occurrence of an important social problem - the Russians called it besprizornost - children and teenagers who had neither parents nor care and attention from the state. At certain periods there were several millions of them. This book describes the features of the sub-culture which these Soviet citizens formed and the attempts by the government and other agencies to eradicate it. The material hopes to present the theme objectively exploiting both Soviet and Western sources.

Rene Bosewitz has successfully conveyed the enormity of the human tragedy associated with besprizornost. I would strongly recommend this book to students of early Soviet educational method, and to those who are interested in the social problems engendered by the political upheavals of the time. (Ena Elsey, The Slavonic and East European Review) ...I can warmly recommend this careful study for anyone interested in the fate of the younger generation under Soviet power.
