Who are the pioneers
The Union called the guys who joined the ranks of the pioneer organization. It was an all-union formation created by the decision of the Komsomol. The forerunners of the pioneers were scouts. The idea of forming an organization for raising children belonged to the wife of V.I. Lenin, N.K. Krupskaya.
I. Zhukov, a former leader of the scouting movement, helped to bring the idea to life (it was banned in 1919). Pioneers borrowed some symbolism from scouts: a cry and an answer to it, a tie, a blouse. The upbringing method, which was based on the game, was similar.
Pioneers were to become a worthy replacement for the Communists, so V.I. Lenin believed. Soon the first pioneer newspapers, magazines, and art palaces appeared.
At the end of the 20s there was a time of the first five-year plans. Pioneers took a lively part in the life of the country. They worked on subbotniks, Sundays, helped on construction sites. Pioneers were friends with the village guys, worked with them in the field. And in the evenings they talked and sang songs by the fire. The guys worked together, held pioneer gatherings, games and competitions.
Pioneers helped educate illiterate people in writing and counting. Thanks to them, illiterate peasants who never attended school learned to read. Pioneers participated in the creation of the first collective farms. In the year 22 of the first pioneers, there were 3 thousand; after 10 years in 32, six million.The world's first pioneer republic is the Artek camp on the Black Sea. Children from all over the world came here.
When the Second World War began, pioneers helped the country defeat the enemy, worked in the rear and on the front line. In schools occupied by the enemy of settlements, studies continued, the ranks of pioneers replenished. Children performed feats, and received rewards for this from the government. Four became heroes of the Soviet Union posthumously.
What date is celebrated "Pioneer Day"
The idea of creating a children's organized movement capable of ideological education originated in 1921. In 1924, the organization was named after the leader of the revolution, Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, which she bears to this day.
The official decision to create pioneer detachments was made on May 19, 1922 at the 2nd All-Russian Komsomol Conference. This number is considered to be the birthday of the pioneer.
During the Soviet Union, this holiday was the most important for all Soviet schoolchildren. Competitions, competitions, awards of the best pioneers were held. In the evenings, “pioneer bonfires” were lit. For modern pioneers, entertainment clubs hold discos dedicated to the holiday.
history of the holiday
Once upon a time, the words of a solemn pioneering oath sounded in all the languages of the Soviet Union. In 1922, the first pioneers lit a pioneer bonfire. Vladimir Lenin encouraged the children to learn communism.
The Communist Party instructed the Komsomol to create a children's organization that will train patriots of the homeland.
Pioneer detachments and camps appeared. Counselors of the Komsomol stuck patronage over young pioneers. The children were taught to love work and study. Watching the life of the pioneer detachments, one could notice their unity, the children shared common aspirations and goals, they appreciated friendship and mutual assistance.
After the Communist Party was banned in September 1991, the pioneer organization was dissolved. A few months later, the huge multinational country of the USSR ceased to exist, having broken up into independent republics.
Mandatory admission to the pioneers remained in the past. Now the Pioneer Birthday is not as wide as before, but the tradition to celebrate it has remained. Every year in May, a voluntary admission to pioneers takes place. The celebration on Red Square is organized for the children of the Communist Party.
Traditions of the triumph of the Soviet era
Pioneer Day in Soviet times was celebrated in all schools. The All-Union Pioneer Organization was one of the links in the continuous chain - Octobren, pioneer, Komsomolets, communist.
Pioneers were to become loyal followers of the ruling party.

The party and the Komsomol carefully raised the generation of young pioneers of Leninists. Another pioneer has always been Nadezhda Konstantinovna Krupskaya. Living participation in the life of the organization was taken by S. M. Kirov, M. I. Kalinin, A. M. Gorky.
In addition to the birthday of the Pioneer All-Union Pioneer rallies. The first rally took place in the summer of 1929 at a huge stadium in Moscow. There were 7 thousand participants from all republics of the USSR and distant foreign countries. Arriving children settled in the families of workers. The next rally took place only after the Great Patriotic War in the 60s of the last century.
