The all-Union Pioneer Organization of the VI Lenin was a mass children's communist organization in the USSR. It was formed by the decision of the All-Russian Komsomol Conference on May,19,1922. Until 1924 the Pioneer organization was named Spartacus, after Lenin's death it got his name. It derived from the Scout movement, but had differs in important aspects: the system was of an inclusive state in nature and was aimed at the ideological continuity of the Communist Party and Soviet State.

The all-Union Pioneer Organization was disbanded in the early 1990's. However, almost immediately after the dissolution attempts to revive the pioneers took plase. Now the pioneering organizations exist in many regions of Russia, and their number varies from tens to tens of thousands of people.

The main drawback of the Pioneer organization now called excessive organization, formalism. However, many Russians say that it is the Pioneer organisation taught them to be proud of their country, responsible for their actions and be responsive to those who need help.

Most Soviet boys dreamed of being astronauts, sailors or airmen. With some of these professions guys could meet in person. Photo: Pioneers in the captain's cabin boat (1981)
Ask children what do they want to be now!

All the guys in the pioneer detachments had orders. Someone was watching over the purity of the class, someone in charge of discipline. All together, the guys collected waste paper and scrap metal, played sports and went on hikes. In the photo: the pioneers collect waste paper (1975).

Higher Pioneer award (and for many - an unattainable dream) was a ticket to the famous Soviet pioneer camp Artek. This trip rewarded with the best - for outstanding academic achievements and pioneering work. In this pioneer camp rested guys from all over the world, and over the summer, many of them had time to really make friends. In the photo: summer in Artek.

The Great Pioneer fire - the most memorable, but usually - a very sad event. Summer camp is usually arranged a farewell, before the guys disperse to their homes.
