add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the wild children in Soviet Union. These children are orphans whose parents were killed or who perished in the World War and the Soviet Revolution; or they are the orphans left from the devastation of the invading foreign armies which America and its allies financed and equipped in an attempt to destroy the revolution; or they are children left by the terrible famine of 1921-1922 which Soviet Russia could not meet alone because it had been laid prostrate by the World War and the invasions. There are some two million of these vagrant children in Russia.
