Figure 1.-- The diafilm text read,"Young friends of border-guards! - Here we are! - Here they are, green flying-caps. And ribbons on shoulder-marks of young friends of border-guards are green too." A Russian reader tells us, "Young Pioneers - a "green patrol" members, who kept an eye about forests and plants. They wore green flying-caps too." The whole uniform looks to be olive green rather than the grey and black uniform which seems to have been the standard uniform. They are wearing the checked knee socks.

They are wearing the checked knee socks or argyles as they are called in the West. Two girls are picyured here. The boys would have worn the same uniform with either long or short pants. The girls are pictured with shorts rather than skirts, perhaps because this was seen as an outdoor activity.
