The diafilm text read,"A state border. Quiet. Not a single twig snapped .... But don't believe to quietness, young border-guard. You are on the guard now. Look around! Dont miss an enemy." There was a constant search for "enemies". This focus on looking out for enemies was something completely absent in Scouting. It was a central matter during the stalinist era and eventually led to Stalin's dreadful purges. But even after Stalin's death, the Soviet state coninued its emphasis on security. This is a mock up of the children helping to watch the border. The Soviet state devoted a huge effort to security. Soviet citizens spied on each other and submitted reports to the KGB (there were other names in earlier periods). There was also a considerable effort at the border.
