Untitled[edit]

In the Family Size paragraph, this sentence is given: 'Families in Central Asia and the Caucasus tended to have more children than families elsewhere in the Soviet Union and included grandparents in the family structure.' Is there any back-up information to this statement? Also, the introduction: 'The view of the Soviet family as the basic social unit in society evolved from revolutionary to conservative; the government of the Soviet Union first attempted to weaken the family and then to strengthen it. According to the 1968 law "Principles of Legislation on Marriage and the Family of the USSR and the Union Republics", parents are "to raise their children in the spirit of the Moral Code of the Builder of Communism, to attend to their physical development and their instruction in and preparation for socially useful activity."The Bolshevik Woman i[1]n the Soviet househood' seems like it should be placed above the Table of Contents. The final sentence of the introduction has the citation in the middle of the word 'in' and the word 'household' is spelled incorrectly. Lmhunte4 (talk) 19:46, 9 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I assume the new section is what you'd like to have feedback on. I don't have immediate access to the sources, so I can't comment on how well the content summarizes what the sources say. I did note the following issues:

Part of the content is unreferenced. You should either clarify the sources or remove those parts.
“The 1918 code had been motivated..." seems to be a quote. I don't see it's necessary to quote the source here. If there's a reason, the quote should be attributed to the source, and the article should explain why that quote is particularly relevant - why can we not summarize that content in our own words?
Some of the references seem somewhat unhelpful to me, for example #6. No page number is given, making it difficult to find the relevant part of the book. I rather don't think links to WorldCat in the "url" parameter improve a reference; all the bibliographical information necessary to find the book is already a part of the reference itself. Google Books might have the book digitized; then a link to Google Books will be helpful for our readers (in this case it well might be). WorldCat does not add any such value.

I hope this helps. Huon (talk) 01:14, 22 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
