Orphans in the USSR
editThank 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)
