Russian Children: As Seen in Literature and Real Life.
Jones, Dianne
To know the culture of a nation one must try to understand the emotional side of a people's character. In considering Russian culture, a study of politics, economics, and geography is insufficient for even beginning to understand the subtleties of the national character. Despite 60 years of Soviet regime, traditional Russian values persist and are still recognizable in the love of nature, love of tradition, and love of family, particularly children. Even a brief study of Russian literature suggests a reverence for childhood. In actual life this feeling is manifested in the loving treatment of children by Russian families. Many Russian cultural traits remain constant, despite drastic changes in their lifestyle and environment during the past 150 years. Currently, the fear of a possible war pervades the lives of modern Russians, including the children. Their fears are reinforced by what they are taught in school and other government educational programs. (APG)
