Russian Youth

Dennen, Leon | October 4, 1933 issue

The article focuses on the book "Youth in Soviet Russia," by Klaus Mehnert. A new generation of Russians has come to consciousness. A product of the war, the revolution, the civil war, and conditioned entirely by Soviet environment, the Soviet youth are radically different from the youth of any other country of the world. It is this youth, or rather a section of it, its features and character, its attitude toward the state, to work, and to life, its notions of morality and spiritual values, that Mehnert set out to describe. It is, to be sure, the "elite," the dynamic section of the youth, as Mehnert justly observes, who are the spearpoint of every advance in the life of the Soviet Union.
