Very soon after evacuation a number of orphanages for Spanish children was opened in Soviet Russia and Ukraine. The author focuses on classroom curriculum, studies and other aspects of the everyday life.Soviet authorities couldn’t ensure equal conditions for all Spanish orphans. Some locations were not well enough prepared for the children,there was lack of the teaching materials, space for studies, professional teachers, clothes. The author comes to the conclusion that creating the system of children special orphanages was the main barrier for total assimilation of small Spanish children.
