What Is The Family's Role In Communism And The Family

Communism and the Family: Educating Women The role of the children in family life was another convention that was changed drastically by the Soviets. The children, under the Soviet Union belonged to the country and the government, not their parents. In order for this to be successful, the government had to take on the full responsibilities of educating the children and providing care facilities to decrease the responsibilities of the parents. The term “social education” was created under this new belief.

Women who had or were going to have children in the gulags had no choice but to surrender their children, knowing the atrocities that they would be faced with.
