Troubles in 'Paradise': Soviets Discover Sex
MUNICH, Germany—(UPI)A study by a Soviet affairs institute reports a sharp increase in sex crimes and immorality among Soviet youth.
The study released at the headquarters of the institute's analysis service here found that sex offenders in Russia have reached such proportions that the Soviet press "has been compelled to violate long-standing taboos on the subject."
THE REPORT was prepared by the "Institute for the Study of the U.S.S.R." which describes itself as a "free corporation of scholars who have left the Soviet Union and are now engaged in research on their homeland."
Its report on immorality in the Soviet Union was based, the institute said, on Soviet publications themselves.
"There is no reason to suppose sociological, psychological and physiological laws operate any differently with regard to Soviet youth than with regard to their counterparts in other countries," the report said.
"CONSIDERING the evidence, it can easily be seen Soviet assertions Communism in the U.S.S.R. has produced a completely new type of man with special spiritual and moral qualities do not correspond to reality," the report said.
It contradicted Communist theorists and Soviet propagandists who maintain sexual excesses and prostitution only exist in "corrupt, bourgeois societies."
The report cited a letter by Siberian writer V. Marina published in the Soviet Literary Gazette of March 14, 1963 in which she protested the banishment of convicted prostitutes to Siberia as "simply an offense and insult to us Siberians."
IT QUOTED A story appearing in Molodoi Kommunist (Young Communist) about a mass rape case.
The Soviet publication was quoted as saying:
"At the beginning of last October a court case which had lasted almost two months came to an end in the town of Kuibyshev. An organized group of rapists which had been active between October, 1960, and December, 1961, was convicted. Fifteen young men had systematically raped minors, 7th and 10th form schoolgirls from Kuibyshev schools . . . the sentence: the instigator, Petr Zakharov, received the supreme penalty—death by shooting. The others were sentenced to various terms of imprisonment."
THE SAME Soviet organ was quoted as describing a school graduation party "which, although attended by teachers, the director of the school and parents, degenerated into a regular drinking bout."
A participant was quoted by the Society publication as giving this description:
"Anatolii Pankov, my classmate, went off to the botany room with Tonya S. and, under the influence of wine, performed the sexual act with her. Petr Zakharov and Lyuba P., who were also drunk, left the party to take a walk and did the same as Pankov and Tonya. Vladimir Smagin got so drunk he smashed his hand into a pane of glass and severed a vein. Isn't this a little too much for 17-year-old boys and girls?"
K.C. Theatre Popular Here
After the bus load of KU students and faculty attend the Starlight Theatre Thursday night, more than 180 will have attended the Kansas City open-air theatre this summer on university-sponsored trips.
"IN ALL WEVE had six bus trips. Four were regularly scheduled trips and the other two were extras—both for the production "Showboat." One trip was a rain check and the other was scheduled because "so many were requesting tickets."
Henry Shenk, director of the physical education department, said that the last bus will leave at 6:30 p.m. Thursday for the Starlight production, "Gypsy" with Giesela McKenzie and Forrest Tucker. The trip is a sell-out, as have been the other five bus trips.
The bus trips include transportation and reserved seats at the theatre with prices varying from $2.75 to $3.75. Approximately 30 seats were available on each bus.
Shenk said "the trips were so successful this summer that they will probably be continued next summer."
