Daria Sinichkina, « L'enfant des steppes dans l'imagerie et la littérature soviétique pour enfants (1917-1953) », Strenae, ID : 10.4000/strenae.568
From the October Revolution of 1917 to the death of Stalin in 1953, the considerations of realpolitik, as much as its ideology, were projected onto the image of non-native children of the USSR. The internationalist era that saw the appearance of happy children exploring a new world in images from magazines, books and newspapers was quickly followed by a systematization of representations: children went from being undifferentiated to being "equal," united in the fixed symbol of the young pioneer, the red scarf. However, in the 1930s, a radically different representation of the non-native child emerged, transformed by propaganda into a cynical and corrupted incarnation of the socialist utopia.
