Catriona Kelly's "Children’s World: Growing Up in Russia,1890-1991"

Alexandra Smith, University of Edinburgh, reviews Catriona Kelly's Children's World: Growing up in Russia, 1890-1991 for the WGRCLC site.  Smith writes,
Kelly’s encompassing study will be of immense interest to a wide range of readers, including social historians, anthropologists, cultural studies specialists, and anyone seeking to understand the effects of a Soviet childhood and the problem of trying to generalize about the diversity of educational practices.
