Figure 1.-- The diafilm text read,"On the chest - a Komsomol badge. The Komsomol is older brother of young Lenin kids." The Young Pioneers, especially the Lenon Kids as described here were a mass prganization. All children were expected to join and participate in the proigram. The Komosol was a different matter. They had to be selected to join the organization. It was considered a kind of proving ground for future members of the Communist Party. One way of earning good marks was to help with the younger children. It is difficult to make out the badge. I think it is right above the girl's pocket. /i>
