Thesis (Ph.D.)--Stanford University, 2007.

This dissertation is an investigation into the history of Soviet childhood, and the evolution in the relationships between the state and children, between children and parents, and among children themselves. While examining childhood as a crucial site for the development of Soviet identity from the Russian revolution through the early phases of the post-Stalinist thaw, my dissertation also analyzes the process of accommodation and negotiation that took place in the process of the development of that identity, particularly its transformation through each successive generation in the period from 1918 to 1958. The dissertation shows, among other things, that by the 1930s the Soviet state was consciously creating a class system in some ways reminiscent of tsarist Russia; that it created a rural-urban schism and used World War II to codify that class system; that it deviated from its own revolutionary creed by increasingly emphasizing gender divisions; that after the 1920s the state realized it must accept the existence of families, then attempted to use children to inculcate and control parents; and it helped create and perpetuate poverty but blamed amoral, unpatriotic, and impoverished citizens for their plight while refusing to admit poverty's existence. The examination of four decades of childhood's institutions---specially families, school systems, detdoms, and the Young Pioneers---demonstrates that state officials were fairly consistent in altering the Revolution's populist goal for their own ends. But while that might be an unsurprising revelation, the fact that children and parents were aware of doctrinal changes and negotiated and protested them shows a surprisingly complex citizenship. This dissertation uses children- and parent-created sources to illustrate their responses to the various troublesome dictates, from letters to children's books writers to records of local party meetings to childhood memoirs. The dissertation's title, "Growing Up Soviet," is a reference to the complexity of the negotiation process---children were maturing and seeking to define themselves at the same time the Soviet Union, an entity that lasted only a full human lifetime, was coming of age.
