About this title: Warfare, epidemics and famine left millions of Soviet children homeless during the 1920s. Many became beggars, prostitutes and thieves, and were denizens of both secluded underworld haunts and bustling train stations. This study of these abandoned children examines their lives and the strategies the government used to remove them from the streets lest they threaten plans to mold a new socialist generation. Alan Ball is the author of "Russia's Last Capitalists: The Nepmen, 1921-1929".
