title: Adolescent sexuality in the Soviet Union--a personal perspective.
abstract: Russian pediatricians, psychiatrists, nurses, and midwives believe that adolescent sex education belongs in the home. Soviet society then has the responsibility of reinforcing the standards and attitudes instilled by the parents. The markedly puritanical sexual standards in Russia are similar to those seen in the United States at the turn of the century.
