My Soviet... My Soviet squad
"Whoever marches in unison in a single file is our Pioneer troop; whoever marches in unison in step—make way for the Pioneers!" Every Soviet schoolchild knew these chants. It's clear that this ideology was full of stupidities and excesses, to put it mildly, but there was one undeniable advantage to it all: most Soviet people liked the very idea of everyone being together.
How were people accepted into the Octobrists and Pioneers, how did they collect waste paper and scrap metal, how did they attend festive demonstrations on May Day and November 7th, and why did they join the Komsomol?
