Figure 1.--Here we see children from an unidentified Russian city primary school headed home. We see quite a range of clithes. Most boys wear fklat vaps--which has a worker image. The boys wear suits, tunics, and just shirts. Many wear overcoats. The pants look to be long knickers.

As far as we can tell, the vast majority of Russian children walked to school. This must be the case because until the fall of Communism, few Russians had private cars. So for the most part they were not driven to school. We suspect that the vast majority of primary school children walked to school with schools being built so that the distances were not excessive for the younger children. We are not sure hoe rural children were dealt with, but most rural children lived in villages with village schools. As far as we know, Russian schools did not operate large fleets of school buses like American schools. Now secondary schools were different. They could not be built so that they were as acceasable as primary schools. In the cities, secondary students used public transport depebding on how close they lived to school. Presumanly they had free or reduced price passes. Important to mention that the Russians had selective schools, so the children did not always go to the nearest school. And today there are private schools. What we are not sure about is how children in rural aread got to secondary schools. Unlike primary schools, there could not be secondary schools in most villages. One of the few achievements of the Soviet state was exapamdng education. This mean there were mamy more children going to school, especially secondary schools. How the rural children got to these schools we are not sure.
