Orphans in the USSR
[edit]Thank you for your significant addition to the article Family in the Soviet Union. However wikipedia differs from writing traditional encyclopedias and books in many respects. It is a common saying here, "Wikipedia is not paper". In particular, in wikipedia it is common to put well-defined topics into a separate articles, for a number of reasons; see wikipedia:Summary style. Therefore I cut out a new article, Orphans in the Soviet Union. Please continue your work there. (And of course, in other places as well. :-) - Altenmann >t 15:38, 19 May 2012 (UTC)

The fact was ... that various turmoils in the history of the Soviet Union left millions of homeless children roaming the country? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Orphans in the Soviet Union.You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000.
