The absolute - almost `natural` - right of a dominant elite over the total product of the labor of the human resources worldwide has created conditions of modern `cannibalism`, within the framework of an unconditionally imposed capitalist socio-economic structure.

In the name of profit for a few `elite`, the vast majority of people across the globe has been proletarianized and turned into cheap commodities in the labor markets of their respective homelands or has been completely impoverished, migrating to other countries.

Characteristic of the new reality is the consistent callousness towards all humankind indiscriminately and the distortion of the popular demand for a fair distribution of global wealth - essentially, only the portion of wealth that is proportionate and designated from the outset for the many is distributed evenly, not the total wealth that rightly belongs to them.

It is also noted that there exists a series of public and social goods, to which not all people have an equal right to access. These are goods that, as George Tsiakalos says, the less one uses them, the greater the chances of slipping into conditions of poverty and social exclusion in general.

One such good is education, which serves as the central concern addressed in the pages of the book. Specifically, it examines the educational conditions of children who migrated to Greece from the former USSR during the 1990s. Their complete educational journey at the primary education level in our country is presented, as revealed by the recording of the performance of their entire population in all schools in Thessaloniki.

The ultimate goal is to reveal their true educational situation and to explore a series of pedagogical issues, which are deliberately or unexpectedly distorted and reinforce, reproducing, the myth of the prevailing rhetoric about equal opportunities in education and society in general.
