...every Russian child knows, the Young Pioneers?Bolshevik boy and girl scouts?have had plenty of suffering and struggling in Russia, largely at the hands of oldsters unable to understand the ideals of Young Russia. In December 1932, there was the case of little Pavel and Fedor Morosov. Pavel & Fedor were Young Pioneers and they knew that their father, president of a local Soviet, was secretly in league with village kulaks. As a good Pioneer, Pavel promptly peached on papa but other villagers did not appreciate the children's rectitude. They tracked Pavel & Fedor to the woods, hacked their bodies...
...Soviet Government was doing everything in its power last week to show that it meant no harm to any other nation. In Rome a non-aggression pact with Italy was signed.

Not long after, a number of Kulak boys including Pavel's cousin met Pavel in the village street. They left him beaten, severely discolored.
