This looks like a really interesting read. I stumbled on this book because my wife is reading about the Author’s developmental theory for her student development masters. His theory of child development has a real striking resemblance to Dialectical Materialism at a cursory glance. The author after writing this book went on to help establish Head Start. Which is just another example of social programs in the west being created as a direct result of experience with the Soviet system.

This book compares the childhood development of kids from both the USSR and the US in the 1960s. Anna’s Archive has a few PDFs of the book in various editions.

Adding it to my growing reading list.
