New Russian “pioneers” – “Movement of the First”
On December 19, 2022, the Russian TASS agency reported that the participants in the congress of the Russian Movement of Children and Youth chose the name of their organization, the Movement of the First, by a majority of votes.
Five names were put to the vote:
“Pioneers”; “Movement of the First”; “Gagarin Movement”; “New Generation”; “Youth”.
Moreover, this was already the third vote, since the results of the previous ones were canceled due to the disagreement of the delegates.
Recall that on March 6, children in the Oryol region of the Russian Federation were forced to sew soft toys in the form of cheburashkas with the letter Z, which are called the “symbol” of the war against Ukraine. Crafts are intended to be sent to the front of the Russian military as “talismans”.
Earlier, on February 6, local media reported that in the city of Nolinsk, Kirov region of the Russian Federation, children beat a 9-year-old boy while riding down an ice slide because of a blue-and-yellow cheesecake.
