1st. After revolutions and civilic wars in 1922 Soviet union got 4-7 millions homeless childs. How did these children survive? Without education and socialization childs can't even communicate normally. They stole and even killed for money. They represented a virus epidemiological risk. So Soviets resolve the problem very hard to gave roof and education for that childs and in 1924 they got "only" 280 000 homeless childs. Without mass shootings for nothing. It's very fan sometimes imagine what in the heads of the people thinking Stalink kills every second in Soviet country. If so who building cities, working on farms and factories, who was fought and win WWII? Oh.. Try to read less of propaganda.
2nd. Since that childs was illiterate and all time moving searching for food and money nobody can't register them in City Hall. The register process have name "propiska" in mean fixate persone leaving address. Not "raspiska". Raspiska is just mean confirmation document writed and signed by you.
You'll be wondered but today in capitalistic Russia got "propiska" too. As the Spain for example.
But earlier "propiska" in Soviets was used to prevent mass moving people from one region to another. It's true. But you must take this true in context of the time and events. It was really hard times.
Worst of all the author does not explaining WHY weekends was limited in 193x, but this is most interesting. From point of view author and "experts with the same opinion" it was cancelled because it's failed. I bet it was cancelled because it did the trick.
Here a Red pill for you:
After 3 revolutions and 2 civilic wars, loosed WWI in begining of 20 centure Russia was in degrade state. People realized what conflict of WWI is not ended and it is means war will be repeated. "We are in 50–100 years behind the advanced countries. We must run this distance in ten years. Either we do it, or they crush us.", said Stalin in 1931.
So walking whole country on weekends to churche may be good, but when somebody want's to kill people of you country in the middle of 20 centure you need aircrafts and tanks. To produce that you need fuel, technology, machine tools and people working hard.
So what was the result of "had no weekends" for 10 years? Soviet Union with allies wins the WWII.
I can't believe author and "experts" don't know that. I belive they just prefers ignore that. But WHY?
