About this resource

"The material gathered here offers a unique insight into one of the most important and characteristic areas of socializing the young in early Soviet Russia, and a window into the mentality of the 'first Soviet generations' as well. Play was used, as methodological guides for nursery-school teachers indicate, in order to inculcate 'politically correct' attitudes. The collection gives a representative overview of the different trends in children leisure activities and games and runs chronologically from 1917 to the late 1930s. It includes books published in the provinces as well as in Moscow and Leningrad, and offers a spread of material covering different age groups, from pre-schoolers to pre-teens. Many of the items included are now extremely rare. The collection contains material on children's games and other leisure activities, the New Year and other holidays, theater, radio and cinema."--Publisher description.
