When they accept in the October of Belarus. Speech of the propaganda team "We are together"

In Belarus, four out of ten children of the corresponding age are listed as pioneers, nine out of ten in October. Most of them were not even asked about their wishes, and in some schools these organizations are “accepted” even against the will of their parents.

The Belarusian Republican Pioneer Organization "BRPO" celebrated the day of the constitution of Belarus by accepting new members of the organization into its ranks. BRPO are octobers and pioneers at the same time. The organization describes itself as the largest non-political public organization for children and youth in the country. At the same time, the leaders of the BRPO, together with the leaders of the Belarusian Republican Youth Union, have jobs in the building of the former Central Committee of the All-Union Leninist Young Communist League of Belarus on Karl Marx Street, in the center of Minsk, Radio Svaboda reports.

Pioneer with 75 years of "experience"

The Belarusian Republican Pioneer Organization celebrated the 25th anniversary of its new Belarusian history last year. As of January 1 of this year, the BRPO had 626,000 children. Of these, 232,000 are Octobrists aged seven to nine, and 393,000 are pioneers aged ten to 18.

The leaders call their organization the largest children's and youth organization in the country, created exclusively on a voluntary basis. The purpose of the activity is social and patriotic:

“To help every pioneer become a citizen, to benefit himself, his family, and his Motherland by his deeds and deeds,” says Marina Bogdanova, deputy chairman of the organization.

“We are the successors of the best traditions, because not everything was so bad with the pioneer organization in Soviet times. Pioneer squads operate in almost all educational institutions, but not 100%. It depends on the desire to create pioneer squads on the ground, exclusively on a voluntary basis - we do not oblige anyone, ”said Bogdanova.

The Chairperson stressed that joining the Octobrists and Pioneers under the age of 14 takes place with the permission of the parents, and after 14 - at the request of the children themselves. From the age of 14, a person receives a passport, from this age administrative responsibility comes, naturally, this is already an independent person. But members of the organization can be any citizen of the country, regardless of age.

“We have a pioneer who joined the organization on May 19, 1941,” said Marina Bogdanova.

“The place where the star fell was called“ zero kilometer ”- the beginning of all roads in the center of the capital, on October Square”

The modern history and paraphernalia of the Belarusian October Pioneers differs significantly from the history and external symbols of their Soviet predecessors. The legend about the Belarusian Octobrists, in particular, says:

“In the distant, distant mysterious times, there lived guys like you - brave and curious. They lived in a beautiful country among green forests, blue lakes and rivers. One thing only embarrassed them - they could not leave the city in which they lived, because there were no roads yet. But one autumn, in October, when the stars in the sky were at their zenith, a shooting star cut the blue night sky. She was very small and fell right into the city, on one of the squares of the capital. The place where the star fell was called "zero kilometer" - the beginning of all roads in the center of the country's capital, on October Square, and the brave children - Octoberists.

The legend of the "Creator and the little man" - the leader

Unlike the Octobrists, the Belarusian pioneers have several legends of their origin at once. One of them is called "The Legend of the Creator and the Little Man":

“It was at the beginning of my life. The great Creator sat on the top of the mountain and looked down at the Earth. He was very bored. What did I do wrong? Why do they hate each other so much? And suddenly the Creator saw the Little Man deftly climbing the mountain. Wow, how young and how persistent! The face is open, serious, and the eyes are kind, kind. Wait! Where are you hurrying? What is your name? - Once upon a time, O Great One! There, by the fire, the children are waiting for me! And my name is the counselor!

There are legends about other signs and symbols of the pioneers: a fire, a flag, a tie. The red-green tie no longer symbolizes red blood and the unity of the Young Communist League pioneers and communists. The hand thrown up is not a symbol of the elevation of the public over the personal, but simply a pioneer greeting. October and pioneer badges - without Lenin, with the outlines of Belarus in red and green trim.

BRPO is a public organization, buildings are state

Marina Bogdanova emphasizes that BRPO is a public organization, and teachers-organizers in educational institutions work with October pioneers on a voluntary basis. When joining the organization, children pay a one-time contribution, which is "affordable" for every child. At the same time, the leadership of the Central Council of the BRPO is located in the building of the former Central Committee of the All-Union Leninist Young Communist League on Karl Marx Street, which is in the center of Minsk and next to Lukashenka's administration.

“The Belarusian Republican Youth Union is located on Karl Marx, and we, the Central Council of the Belarusian Republican Pioneer Organization, are also located there. We do not rent premises - this has happened historically, ”says Bogdanova.

"Public organization" for which children are campaigning in schools

Is it really the children themselves and their parents who express the initiative and desire to become Octobrists or pioneers? The journalists asked the parents of schoolchildren about this. They also asked about their thoughts on the social status of the BRPO-BRSM. The mother of a sixth-grade student of the Minsk gymnasium No. 23 Elena says:

“About public organizations, already by the name, one can assume that they are founded and operate for the funds and forces of the public. This means that, in addition to the legal procedure for drawing up a charter, a meeting of founders, registration, they must have a legal address.

That is, either have your own premises, or rent it, paying big money today. BRPO-BRSM - as I understand it - received a building near Lukashenka's administration as a gift from the state, since it does not rent it, but has its own premises there. What other public organization in the country has received such a gift from the state, and most importantly, for what merits?

Or for which other public organization, besides the October Pioneers, do children agitate in schools? Then what kind of public organization is it then - it is directly connected with state structures. And here you can really talk about the “continuity of traditions”, since only in Soviet times did the Communists-Komsomol members build the best buildings for themselves with taxpayers’ money, ”says Elena.

The woman believes that the same applies to the activities of this organization in schools.

The Belarusian-language gymnasium is located in the center of the city. Children are brought here from different parts of Minsk precisely so that they can learn in Belarusian. Therefore, the vast majority of parents have an active life position and are well aware of the role of Bolshevism in the history of the country. Therefore, in the gymnasium, no one even talked about October Pioneers. But the director changed, and the class teacher suddenly began to ask the children who would like to become pioneers, and to ask their parents if they give permission. There were no such people in the class of the child Elena, but in the gymnasium itself they say that something like that has nevertheless appeared.

“They forced my daughter to hang a pioneer rag with communist flowers around her neck”

At school number 23, which is located on the outskirts of Minsk, the situation with the pioneers is almost the opposite. Not all parents manage to ensure that their children are not accepted into this organization. Says the father of 12-year-old Aneli Dmitry Marchuk:

“In our school, children were accepted without exception, they were simply driven by force. At first they campaigned for the October Pioneers, and after that they simply drove everyone. I went to the director and said that why are you agitating for the Octobrists, the pioneers? If these are public organizations, then why is it not campaigning for other organizations too? For example, for the Belarusian Christian Democracy, for the Young Front, for the Young Democrats, or what others? Children should have an alternative, and why do you deprive children of it?

My ex-wife agreed that her daughter be accepted as a pioneer, no one asked my opinion and no one was interested in it. Is this the legal action of the administration? I found out later - only one girl from the class where her daughter studies did not enter anywhere. I myself am a believer, and I asked her parents if they were believers. And they said no, not believers, but we know how much blood the Bolsheviks have on their hands, and these children's organizations are their followers, so we don't need them. And I fully support them,” said Dmitry Marchuk.

He told reporters that he had asked his acquaintances if such a mass corral of children into pro-Bolshevik organizations was taking place in other schools. "Thank God, not in all."

Dmitry wanted to understand what caused such stubborn idolatry of communist idols in this school.

“Really in order to express gratitude to the main Bolshevik ideologist of the country, since this school is the most expensive of all? Be that as it may, the result is that God punishes the people and the country for idolatry. And, despite my prohibitions, they still forced my daughter to hang a pioneer rag with communist flowers around her neck!

This is how teachers and school leaders instill in children disrespect for parents! In this way, they force children to break one of the 10 commandments in order to honor their parents! They are not afraid to anger either God or people, from which God's curse and punishment did not escape this school! It was at this school in front of the porch that a student died under the wheels of a car during a parent-teacher meeting, which was resonated in the media in November 2012,” Marchuk shared.
