Figure 1.--Here we see Soviet-era pre-schoolers putting on some kind of play. The boys are dressed up lke bunnies. The girls wear dresses. We are guessing thatvsome of the girls would have liked the bunny costumes. The photograph is not dated, but looks to have been taken in the 1960s.

We note theatricals in Soviet-era schools, but mostly at the pre-school and very early-primary school years. We see seasonal and othercevents with the children dressed up in cute costumes. These seem to be class room activities presented to small groups. We think the parents were often invited to attend. We do not know if they have theatricals such as school plays like American schools have. This is a major tradition in American and English schools, but less so in Europe. Russian schools are more like European schools with a strong academic focus and less attention to activities. Of course, Soviet children studied literature on school. We do not know to what extent theu staged plays in schools.
