if I had a kid and this shit happened, I'd be like "you break it, you buy it, enjoy dealing with an orphan now"
The USSR started to fuck with people's kids and you know what the parents did? abandoned them. So then the USSR had this huge orphan population that were causing a disruption & drain on its 5 year plans & fucking everything up, so Stalin had to backpedal on destroying the family and leave people's kids alone so they'd actually want to raise them.
They had a shitload of orphan kids from the civil war, so they took and recruited a lot into the Cheka. The source of the alegory story of dog pups from Animal Farm.
Then they shot lots of parents in the purged and repressions, and their kids were typically taken into the orphanages serving as indoctrination camps to make them into model Soviet citizens after murdering their parents. A portion of the movie Europa Europa is set in such place: https://youtube.com/watch?v=jCPo8f_fMvc
Russia's not done stealing dead people's kids yet.
There were also dark rumors what happened to some street orphans, the thieving/begging ones. It's like the rumors about what happened to some "antisocial" war invalids who one day were rounded up: https://youtube.com/watch?v=xSxs4BVlitU
