1930s USSR saw the mass integration of deaf people into society. The deaf-mute was considered an “invalid” in the NEP era, but now became a “modern Soviet worker.” The state ensured that sign language education and translation services were made available to all deaf people

Page numbers 118, 18. That is a weird two things to show back to back. I'm going to regret tweeting this, the actual source talks about this in more complexity, where the cutting off especially to hide the very shit opinions of Stalin on this is really deceptive

Also the fucking absolute shitheads going this shows there was no abelism are extrapolating a ton. I know fuck all about this kind of stuff, i mean i guess i have learning disabilities but i certainly know fuck all about theories on it and stuff

I know there is differences of opinion though on how people want to preserve communities vs how they interact and integrate and I certainly can't talk about that, but the way it sounded like it got enforced to even it becoming politically a bit of a no no is not great

There is a lot of shockingly good stuff on disability in the USSR, especially in many ways compared to the US. But to cut out from the history the more negative sides and for all i fucking know there is a lot more because this is something i havent read about much
