Not only is no religion taught to them, but they are definitely instructed to scoff and sneer at the old beliefs of their fathers and mothers They are taught that they owe neither allegiance nor obedience to their parents, that one of their duties is to spy on them and report their doings and sayings to their teachers, The homes to which parents are forced to send their boys and girls, often bitterly against their will, are for children, how ever small, up to 14 and 16 years of age.

In 1994 the Govern ment expelled 30,000 students, 8,000 from Leningrad alone, because they were not of proletarian origin, This, however, brought them into such discredit abroad, Italy in particular offering to take 83 many as possible at her own universities, that the Soviet Government are grade! ally reinstating the students in their old universities,
