A girl, wearing a red neckerchief, a symbol of the Young Pioneer Organisation, salutes during a ceremony for the inauguration of 45 newly adopted members on the day of its anniversary at school-lyceum number 12 in the Siberian city of Krasnoyarsk, Russia, May 19, 2015. On this day in 1922, early pro-communist movements which appeared in Russia after the 1917 Bolshevik revolution were reformed into the Young Pioneer Organisation of the Soviet Union. While the organisation lost its dominance among students in post-Soviet Russia, some families and educational institutions, including school-lyceum number 12 which is the only one of this kind in Krasnoyarsk, still carry on this tradition.
