These children were found by the Red Army amid the ruins of a Russian village in the Kharkov area after it had been recaptured from the Germans. The Nazis had destroyed every habitation of the village and taken the parents of the children with them. Hundreds of such war orphaned children are being adopted by Soviet families and are being sent to child colonies behind the Urals.
