Orphanages in Russia

[Perova Natasha]

Anatoly Pristavkin is the first that comes to mind. Especially his The 
Golden Cloud There Rested translated by Michael Glenny. In Glas 16 we 
published a long excerpt from his novel Kukushkin Kids about his life in the 
orphanage where he was raised.
Victor Astafyev also grew up in an orphange. His earlier novels, such as The 
Last Respects and Tsar Fish, reflect his childhood experiences.

Subject: [SEELANGS] Orphanages in Russia


Hello Seelangs Community,

I've recently started research on orphanages in Russia (Soviet, particularly
the Gorbachev era, and Post-Soviet), and was wondering if anyone could
recommend some artistic films and/or literature that are concerned with this
topic. In fact, informational literature would also be helpful. I'd like to
learn about how they have functioned during the Soviet Union and how they
have evolved to the present. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!
