What happens when gopniks beat a teenage musician in a dead gateway? Is it bad? Undoubtedly. But the boy, despite being busy, also enrolled in the sports section.

The future of children, of course, is in the hands of parents. It depends on their worldview and an objective understanding of life. And also from whether they understand that it is impossible to live autonomously in human society.
