100 years ago, the history of the world's largest children's organization, Pioneer, began. At first it bore the name of the gladiator Spartacus, then - V.I. Lenin. Tens of millions of Soviet people passed through the ranks of the pioneers. In this book we reveal the “military secrets” of the pioneer organization, thanks to which the guys in red ties fought the Nazis during the Great Patriotic War and helped adults restore the country. What books did the pioneers read? What songs were sung? The book also reveals the everyday history of the organization: pioneer traditions - from the first bonfires and marches to the history of the largest seaside pioneer camps, which every Soviet schoolchild dreamed of going to. The publishing layout of the book is saved in PDF A4 format.
