Gorbachov's "openness" policy has revealed many hitherto unknown aspects of Soviet youth behaviour, including vigilante gangs and drug addicts, skin-heads (known as "British horrors") and heavy metal fans. Jim Riordan looks at the contemporary problems confronting young people in the USSR, covering youth culture and pop music, delinquents and deviants and young artists and youth organizations (official and unofficial). The book provides an insight into the life and attitudes of Soviet young men and women, providing an opportunity to understand the youth problems of another society and the ways they are dealt with. Jim Riordan is also author of "Sport in Soviet Society", "Soviet Union: Land and People" and "Soviet Education: The Gifted and the Handicapped".

The role and development of sport in Soviet society received little contemporary attention, in the West or in Russia. Although it was widely banned after the Russian Revolution, and viewed as a tool developed by the bourgeoisie for the training of body and mind during the rise of capitalism, the USSR was among the world's sporting powers. This 1977 book examines the evolution of sport in Russia from its early association with health and hygiene, through a period of functional association with labour and defence, to its post-war importance as a means of enhancing the prestige of Soviet communism abroad. The historical role of Soviet sport is followed from the considerable part that sport played during the period of rapid industrialisation, through its strange fate during the years of mass repression, to its emergence as a major institution after the Second World War.

Sport occupies a key position in the cultural profile of a nation. This study forms a comparative guide to sport across Europe, in terms of its relative political and social status, its development, and the ways in which it has contributed to national achievement. Covering sport in ten major European states, each native contributor to the study presents: • a brief historical background: major sports successes, Olympic positions, sporting traditions, • organisation of sport: its structure and financing, • elite sport: how talent is spotted, nurtured and remunerated, sports academies, national qualification schemes, • the role of science and medicine in sport,
