Komsomol and Pioneer Organization

Abstract

The birth and all activity of the Pioneer organization is connected inseparably with the Party and the Komsomol. The Pioneer organization was created under the immediate guidance of the Party's Central Committee. At the initiative of the CC RCP (b), the Central Committee of the Komsomol in December, 1921 discussed the question of drawing children into the communist movement. Under the leadership of local Party organizations, groups and detachments of young Pioneers were founded first in Moscow, and then in Petrograd, in the Ukraine, in Belorussia. Soon the Pioneer movement was developed in the whole country.
