Abstract
Abstract V. P. Tomin's summary study of the development of public education in the USSR may be welcomed as a highly useful addition to the literature on the subject that is available in English translation. With a laconic and clear style he has documented the tremendous rise in educational standards (or the educational level) of the Soviet population since 1917. The statistics employed are well chosen and integrated into a text that begins with the public literacy campaigns of the 1920s and 1930s and ranges through the creation of the mass education system in the USSR since then, ending with a discussion of demographic processes correlated with educational achievement in the present. It is hoped that this presentation of the book may find English language readers who are looking for an introductory text, an overview of the history of Soviet education-albeit largely in quantitative terms, and a discussion of how education relates to Soviet economic and social life today.
