Focusing on Soviet residential childcare homes and boarding schools, this book delves into the broader implications of Soviet policies on deviance and social control. It illustrates how these institutions targeted children from marginalized and impoverished backgrounds, including those with disabilities, aiming to reshape them into productive citizens aligned with socialist ideals. Additionally, it connects these practices to Khrushchev's reforms, emphasizing a system of societal monitoring that persisted despite significant changes in the wider Soviet context.
