Anton Semyonovich Makarenko (Russian: Антон Семёнович Макаренко, Bilopillia 1888– Moscow, 1939) was a Ukrainian and Soviet educator and writer, one of the founders of the Soviet pedagogy, who elaborated the theory and methodology of upbringing in self-governing child collectives and of introducing productive labor into the educational system.

In the aftermath of the Russian Revolution he established self-supporting orphanages for street children. Among these establishments were the Gorky Colony and later the Dzerzhinsky Commune. Although there was some opposition by the authorities at the early stages of Makarenko's "experiments", the Soviet establishment eventually came to hail his colonies as a grand success in Communist education and rehabilitation.

His system has been accused of sharing many of the faults of Stalinism, such as:

blue bullet giving the child collective too much power over the individual child,
blue bullet over-emphasizing discipline,
blue bullet and leaving insufficient space for individual freedom.
