Abstract: The subject of the research is the study of the ideologization of pedagogical education of parents in the USSR (1930s – mid – 1950s). It is argued that family life was subordinated to the institutions of power: education of children in the spirit of communism. Ideologization led to the saturation of the transmitted information with certain material showing the advantage of the Soviet government: a new happy world, a Soviet family, the upbringing of a new person, Soviet pedagogy. The historical and pedagogical analysis makes it possible to identify the peculiarities of the education of parents in the conditions of totalitarianism, to highlight the dangers of the ideologization of education. The author analyzes in detail the books for parents by A.S. Makarenko, M.V. Sarycheva, K.A. Arkin and others. Special attention is paid to the analysis of the nature of work with the family. The following forms of pedagogical education of parents are highlighted: work at school, at the place of residence, parent universities. The main research methods are the study and analysis of normative legal acts in the field of education, upbringing, development of family relations, the works of teachers, psychologists, the magazine "Family and School", books for parents. The novelty of the study lies in the fact that the education of parents is considered in the context of ideological influence. It is shown that in the conditions of a totalitarian regime, in the absence of empirical studies of parenthood, the isolation of the country, the education of parents was ideologized. The ideal family was represented by an economic team with a regime, order, and unquestioning discipline. The forms of work with the family were at the same time the control over the behavior of the family. Ideologization assumed the upbringing of conscious discipline in children and was supposed to develop "correct" parenting techniques from parents and stimulate the ideological growth of the parents themselves, allowing them to counteract Western influences and educate children with the highest qualities necessary in the construction of communism. The result of the ideologization of parents' education was the spread of disrespect for the child, increased authoritarianism of parents, ignoring feelings, and disruption of communication between parents and children.

Abstract: The subject of the study is the pedagogical conditions for the correction of communication disorders in children who have been subjected to abuse in the family. The study was based on the assumption that anxiety and hostility are psychologically dominant in such children. Timely work with the child emotionally and correction of the sphere of communication can correct negative influences. The author examines in detail the implementation of pedagogical conditions: conducting special classes with children to overcome anxiety in the communication process, involving children in leisure activities to reduce hostility toward adults, and having children participate in field events to develop positive emotions. The study's novelty is that the pedagogical conditions for correcting communication disorders have been experimentally tested. The author comes to the following conclusions: 1. Conducting special classes with children to overcome anxiety in the communication process helps them express their feelings, activate communication between a child and an adult, form various means of communication, and develop dialogic speech. 2. Involving children in leisure activities to reduce hostility toward adults allows an adult to manifest themself as an assistant and defender with whom a child can communicate without fear, jointly achieving their goals. 3. The participation of children in field events aimed at the development of positive emotions increases the social context of communication of the child and expands the circle of adults with whom the pupil would interact.

Abstract: The subject of this research is the determination of leading ideas of drastic reorganization of secondary education and its impact upon students, which allows analyzing the peculiarities of adolescent age as a cultural-historical phenomenon. The reorganization was conducted in two directions: all existing educational institutions were transformed into the Uniform Labor School; an alternative to middle school for in-service education was created – school for working youth or factory-apprenticeship school. The Uniform Labor School replaced the old one and carried “bourgeois vestige”, which were intensively fought against, violating the traditional cirrucul and implementing “working processes”. School for working youth or factory-apprenticeship school, on the contrary, were considered a new type of class school and developed general educational character. The author examines the measures taken with regards to the two types of schools. Special attention is given to studying the peculiarities of adolescents from the Uniform Labor School and working youth from factory-apprenticeship school. The novelty consists on examination of peculiarities of adolescent age in the conditions of drastic reorganization of secondary education in the early period of Soviet Russia. It is claimed that the conducted reform led to “proletarization” of adolescence among second-levelers of the Uniform Labor School, while a working teenager from the School for working youth or factory-apprenticeship school was an underage adults deprived of childhood.

Abstract: The subject of the study is the identification of leading ideas of educational protective and discriminatory policies and its influence on students, which allows analyzing peculiarities of formation of adolescence as a cultural and historical phenomenon. Liberal Charter of 1864 posed a threat to the regime, as it prepared a growing man for great independency, which gave a chance to social mobility for all layers of the population, opened new career prospects. Secondary education counter reform, instead, restrained accessibility of education, toughened the educational process, led to the problematic nature of adolescence. The content of the Charter of grammar schools and progymnasiums of 1871, the Charter of the non-classical secondary school of 1872, the rules and penalties for students, circulars of Ministers, efforts to change educational policy is observed. Special attention is paid to the study of the impact of protective and discriminatory policies on the distortion of the course of adolescence. The main method of research is the historical and pedagogical reconstruction of adolescence. Private research methods are the study and analysis of normative legal acts in the field of education, scientific and pedagogical articles, historical and pedagogical works, psychological and pedagogical studies of childhood. The novelty of the study is that the problematic nature of the course of adolescence is considered as a result of protective and discriminatory policies. It is claimed that the suppression of the most important needs of adolescence, such as self-knowledge, self-search, the development of emotional-volitional sphere, focus on the future led to a lack of self-understanding and manifested in emotional exhaustion, demotivation to activities and/or deviant behavior of students.

Abstract: The subject of the research is the leading ideas of the secondary education reform that took place in Russia in 1864 when the origins and peculiar features of teenage years were first mentioned. The present research is based on the assumption that the term 'adolescence' was first brought up by that reform. Historical and pedagogical analysis carried out by the author casts light on the reasons of difficult and often deviant behavior of teenagers and emphasizes the insufficience of one-sided pedagogical influence. The researcher analyzes such aspects of the topic as the contents of the Statutes of Gymnasiums and Progymnasiums, and arguments of participants in pedagogical discussions. The author pays special attention to the definition and time frame of a new age period. The  main research methods include study and analysis of legal acts and regulations in the sphere of education, reviews, research articles in pedagogics devoted to the reform of 1864, and historical and pedagogical researches of the childhood. The novelty of the research is caused by the fact that the development of the adolescence concept is viewed in terms of the reform of 1864. The Statutes of Gymnasiums and Progymnasiums created the system of massive (accessible) secondary education that would mean an extended period of education, and segregation of students depending on their chronological age. Students faced new conditions of life outside their families, established views of the world and themselves demolished, and that formed the basis of the teenage age. At the same time, declared education common to all mankind was replaced with the formal approach. As a result, the teenage age was primarily seen as a negative phenomeon and permanent teenage crisis.
