History of the formation of the komsomol and its inclusion in the new Soviet Stalinist State

Abstract
The famous Pioneer camp 'Artek' was used by the Soviet Union to showcase socialism to upcoming generations. It was an iconic space where each summer 5,000 children from over 60 nations met to promote transnational cooperation and Soviet-led world peace. The article reconstructs American children's experiences who dared to break through the iron curtain to participate. It will examine how, and with what success, the participants' encounters challenged and shaped their perceptions of East and West, and how their actions fed into the upsurgence of citizen diplomacy that played a crucial role in ending the Cold War.

The article discusses the complex interaction between national mobilization during World War I and children. The focus is on children and teenagers living in Kyiv, a border region of the Russian Empire, who were amongst the first children to be affected by the war. The purpose of the study is to examine the ways in which children and adolescents were integrated into the military culture in the city during the general mobilization period and the very nature of their direct participation in this war. The materials of contemporary pedagogical research will be used to reconstruct children's experiences during that time as well as their emotional response to military culture in the first two years of the war.

Sorgearbeit ist ein lebensnotwendiges Fundament der Gesellschaft. Ohne die vielen Menschen, die sich tagtäglich um Kinder kümmern, unterstützungsbedürftige Angehörige pflegen oder Menschen in Not helfen, würde diese sofort zusammenbrechen. Gleichzeitig werden diejenigen, die diese Arbeit übernehmen, ebenso überbeansprucht wie die Ökosysteme und ihre Stoffkreisläufe, auf denen alles Leben beruht. Diese Probleme sind letztendlich in einer kapitalistischen Gesellschaftsordnung nicht lösbar. Daher müssen wir profitorientiertes Wirtschaften radikal einschränken zugunsten einer Care-Ökonomie, die sich an gelingenden Sorgebeziehungen und der Belastbarkeit der Ökosysteme orientiert. Das Konzept der Care Revolution eröffnet den Weg in eine Gesellschaft, die von Sorge und Solidarität statt von Konkurrenz und Ausgrenzung geprägt ist. (Verlagstext)
