First titles that come to mind:
Dostoevsky, Netochka Nezvanova, Malen'kii geroi,
Maria Zhukova, Samopozhertvovanie  (heroine's childhood)
Evgeniia Tur, Antonina  (opening scenes)
(of course, Tolstoy's Childhood)

There is a book by Andrew Wachtel on the myth of childhood.
Please share the rest of the results with the list:)

Best,
Svetlana
