One of the neighbours complained, and her father gave her what she described as ‘as a big beating’ with his belt. For good measure he also gave the lad next door a strong taste of his belt too, and apparently nothing more was said, so whether the lad kept quiet for fear of another one from his father, one can only guess.
Many of the people I spoke to believed they deserved what they got, and did not seem to resent the beatings.
I have heard rumours about corporal punishment being used at Komsomol (Young Communist)camps, where schoolchildren were sent for summer holidays, but I don’t have any tangible evidence.
