YUKHTA JUVENILE COLONY IN 1943—1945
Abstract
The article, based on previously unpublished archival materials, examines the process of organizing and operating the Yukhta labor educational colony for minors. It is concluded that during the war, the colony played an important role in the fight against homelessness, neglect and prevention of juvenile crime in the far Eastern region. However, when implementing the tasks of keeping teenagers in the colony, the NKVD bodies of the Khabarovsk territory faced a complex of problems related to the lack of qualified personnel and the necessary material resources. The result was a poor situation with the organization of food, clothing allowances and medical care for children, often unsatisfactory sanitary conditions in their places of residence, study and work. At the same time, the studied documents show that the activities of the colony were not repressive in nature, its main task was the socialization of teenagers who fell into a difficult life situation due to wartime, lost their relatives, and took the criminal path of life.
Key words
Khabarovsk territory, Yukhta labor educational colony, NKVD bodies, World War II, homelessness and neglect.
