Multitudes of children raised in the former Soviet Union relate that they do have many happy childhood memories — despite sundry negative circumstances.

Many men and women treasured their times with their grandparents, who often served as primary caretakers year round or during summer vacations, when the children stayed at their grandparents' dacha or at a collective farm in a small village.
"I remember sitting with my grandmother as she told us about her life. There was a great view of the river and the beautiful rolling hills. The voice of blood still calls to me from there."
"Grandmother had bees, and there is nothing better than fresh milk and grandmother's freshly baked bread with fresh honey."
