A story about a difficult Soviet childhood of an orphan, swallowed not by the ruthless system
“Tubby the Cabbage from the Incubator” is an honest account of how Soviet children’s homes were structured and of the children who managed to survive them. This book is about growing up, nightmarish mistakes, simple joys, and hard but necessary life lessons. Childhood spent under the pressure of a ruthless system can break more than one fate—but for someone else, it can make them stronger and make them love life.
“Given such a degree of mutual indifference, I assure you, it’s hardly difficult to get into trouble, turn into the most notorious hooligan, and commit those very ‘terrible deeds’ that everyone now so hypocritically laments! Especially when you’re still quite young from the start and behind you there’s no wise mentor—or at least any life experience that, by itself, is worth a hundred advisors.”
That’s what I said—the little desperate Tubby Cabbage, fighting not so much for myself as for all the unfortunate children-home residents caught in this terrifying internat trap, more like a meat grinder.
