The Soviet Union, in common with all societies, is highly concerned with the moral development of its youth; but the goal of creating the "new Soviet man" presupposes a definition of morality in the USSR that is very different from the more common definitions in the West. Moral development in the Soviet Union can be understood only in the context of what has come to be known as "communist morality." Lenin declared: "We reject any morality based on extra-human and extra-class concepts.... We say: morality is what serves to destroy the old exploiting society and to unite all the working people around the proletariat, which is constructing a new, a communist society" [10. Pp. 243-45]. In general, he contined, morality could be defined as anything that serves to help society rise "to a higher level" — to communism [10. P. 246]
