Warfare, epidemics, and famine left millions of Soviet children homeless during the 1920s. Many became beggars, prostitutes, and thieves, and were denizens of both secluded underworld haunts and bustling train stations.

The "rehabilitation" of these youths and the results years later are an important lesson in Soviet history.
