In Soviet times, Pavlik was an example for the pioneers.He was born November 14, 1918 in the village of Gerasimovka.His parents were farmers.Pavlik has become an active participant in the process of dispossession and headed the first in his village pionerotryad.
in Soviet history say that this boy during the collectivization his father exposed the kulaks.He testified against his dad, who was sentenced to 10 years.Also, he told about the hidden bread from a neighbor, the theft of state grain that made his uncle.Pavlik Morozov led an active part in actions and sought together with the chairman of the hidden goodness villagers.
In court, the boy did not speak against his father, and did not write to him denunciation.The only thing he did was confirmed the words of the mother, which has put forward the main charges.Trofim Morozov, Pavlik's father, beat his wife and often brought home things got for issuing false documents, and he kept a large number of grains.
According to the official version, killed the boy's grandfather and great-uncle in 1932 in the forest.Mother at this time short time left for the city.The killers were sentenced to death, the father Pavlik also shot, even though he was at that time away.His mother got an apartment in the Crimea, as compensation for the death of his son.Many collective farms, schools, Pioneer squads received the name - "Pavlik."
story of the life of this boy was known throughout the Soviet Union.About him composed songs and poems, it was created the opera, and Eisenstein even tried to make a film, but the idea could not become a reality.Today, different sources give differing information, so that the question arises, and it even existed Pavlik?The feat of his half of the cases attributed to the denunciations of him and called a traitor.But we still believe that it existed.
first Pavlik Morozov, who put his father was considered a national hero."Pioneer Pravda" wrote about him: "Pavlik does not spare anyone.Got my father - he gave his uncle, grandfather - and he gave them Shatrakov concealed weapons, Silin speculated vodka - all of them exposed Pavlik.He was brought up in the Pioneer organization and so grown Bolshevik. "
story of the murder of Pavlik Morozov immediately picked up by Soviet propaganda.He was introduced to a brave pioneer who denounced his father-fist.Also, his name was entered in the Book of Honor of All-Union Pioneer Organization named after Lenin.But half a century later, the image began to change, because the story was already unattractive.With the collapse of the USSR were written thesis, which states that Pavlik was not a hero, but simply reported to absolutely everyone.
Because he surrendered his own father, Stalin said about him: "Of course, the boy - a bastard, but the country needs heroes."While it was necessary to educate the generation of whistleblowers and informers, and the boy became an example.
Today Pavlik Morozov is not considered a hero or a traitor.It is just a victim of severe and serious time.This boy was killed for having told the truth.If you look at this history, we can understand that it is a very distorted and altered for the convenience of the authorities of the time.
