Russian Communist Party Leader Gennady Zyuganov ties a red neckerchief for a boy as he joins the Young Pioneers in Red Square during a ceremony to celebrate the anniversary of the Pioneer organisation in Moscow, Russia. Early pro-communist pioneer movements appeared in Russia after the 1917 Bolshevik revolution and in May 19, 1922 they were organised into the Young Pioneer Organisation of the Soviet Union with units active in all republics of the country. While the organisation lost its dominance among students in post-Soviet Russia, some families still carry on this tradition.
