The Privileged Generation Children In The Soviet Union by N. Vishneva-Sarafanova

This is a book about the children of the 1980s.

The 20th century has witnessed two world wars and continuous military conflict. It is a century of technological progress that has unlocked the secrets of the atom, the mysteries of the cell, and the wonders of space. Yet, it is still unable to provide all the children in the world with food, clean water, and medical care. In other words, it is unable to guarantee their right to life.

Every second, three children are born into the world, their futures uncertain: poverty or comfort, ignorance or education, life or death.

Children and Slaves are Mining our Critical Metals (and Not Just Cobalt).
If you’ve heard anything about the dark side of the shift to renewable energy and digital techyou’ve probably heard about the children working in cobalt mines in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).But it turns out there are many other places where children, as well as enslaved adults, are producing the metals that go into our electric cars and cell phones.

Today is World Day Against #ChildLabour and #RussiaDay

To solve Russia's economic crisis, Putin is eyeing at bringing back #childlabour and Soviet-style labour camps.

See how much they want peace? See how little they care for their own people?

You think negociations will help? You think you can get something with appeasement from a people that would obediently send their own children into labour camps??

Anyone talking about "making a deal with Russia" is crazy!
