Greetings from Siberia! I enjoyed the time I spent with you in Moscow. I saw the first issue of the Russian “Forerunner” – (Predvestnik). The first issue was good.
I’ve enclosed a document that your readers might find interesting. This card, given to me when I was a student in Krasnoyarsk, says that the owner of it is a member of the Pioneers Organization of Lenin of school #35. (This is a communist youth group.) Inside there is a poem: “In your hearts a big power is growing. Roads, storm, and wind are waiting for you. Live so that you will not be ashamed to look into the eyes of our dear Lenin.” On the other side it says: “Your name is written down in the Book of Honor. And you have the honor to have your picture taken next to the flag, the banner of the Pioneers Organization of school #35.” Now they don’t use this card anymore. And there is no longer a Pioneers Organization in our school.
