Honestly, I feel sorry for today's kids. They have never been and will never be October students... Oh, what a joy and pride it was when you, yesterday’s “just a first-grader”, and more recently a snotty “preschooler”, were solemnly accepted in front of the whole school (!) in October! And now you are no longer just a first-grader, but an October child, and, most importantly, now you have an October child BADGE on your chest... It was the October child’s star that raised you a step higher in the hierarchy of your peers. After all, this is not my uncle’s army badge, which was just for “showing off in front of the boys.” The October badge was the first (!) legal insignia, a sign of belonging to a special group. And what kind of ideology and politics are there (at seven years old...), an ordinary game. Everything is like adults - meetings, discussions, responsibilities. It was precisely these responsibilities that made us more mature and responsible. There were even Rules of the October Revolution. And there was nothing wrong with them. Judge for yourself...
— Octobers are future pioneers.
“Octobers are diligent guys, they study well, they love school, they respect their elders.
- Oktyabryats, honest and truthful guys.
- The Octobers, friendly guys, read and draw, play and sing, they live happily.
Only those who love work are called Octobers.
To let down his comrades, to fail to complete an assignment was a disgrace for the October boy. We took this very seriously. And the title of October-born gave the right to become a member of various communities, such as “Friends of Birds”, “Green Patrol” and many others, I don’t remember... But I remember well how in the spring my grandfather trimmed the garden, and I (a member of the “Green Patrol” "!), ran after him around the garden and did not let him cut the branches, poking him with his ID. Certificate! In fact, it was mainly for his sake that they joined these societies. But what? A real document! My! With my name, surname and seal (school, of course).
A later version of the badge is plastic. The clasp often broke.
At night they were placed under the pillow, and when meeting like-minded people, they were presented to each other. A game? Of course! But this game made us friendlier, more united, made us a team. There is a lot of talk now that this suppressed the child’s personality and deprived him of his individuality. Nonsense!!! Only in a team can a real personality manifest itself; without a sense of responsibility, the development of a full-fledged personality is impossible. Anyway. This is already a debatable issue and problems of pedagogy...
By the end of third grade, the October fervor usually faded. Any game gets boring, and we grow out of it. The October badges on third-graders looked like those worn by demobilized soldiers - dashing and careless. Many of them were worn, with peeling enamel, and they were often pinned crookedly. In fairness, it must be said that this concerned mainly the boys, the girls kept the mark until the last. We grew out of the October age, and being an October child, like “first-graders,” was no longer interesting. After a year, some girls also gave up; the October badge could rarely be seen on them either. There was a new stage of growing up ahead - in the fourth grade they were accepted into the pioneers. And this is much more serious...

The term Octobrists arose in 1923-24, when the first groups of Octobrists began to appear in Moscow. They accepted children the same age as the Great October Socialist Revolution.
In the USSR, they became October students in the first grades of schools. Upon joining the ranks of the Octobrists, young schoolchildren were given a badge - a five-pointed ruby star with a portrait of Lenin as a child. The symbol of the group was the red October flag. The October group had several units called “stars”, each of which included approximately 5 people - the symbol of a five-pointed star. The star had its own commander, florist, orderly, librarian, and physical educator.
The Komsomol Central Committee approved a set of “rules” for the Octobrists:
- Octobers are future pioneers.
- October students are diligent guys, they love school and respect their elders.
- Only those who love work are called Octobers.
- Octobers are truthful and courageous, dexterous and skillful.
October Rules
There are exactly five of our rules, we will follow them:
- We are active guys because we are Octobers. Don’t forget October, you are on your way to becoming a pioneer.
- We are brave guys because we are October. Like the heroes of our native country, we want to build our own lives.
- We are diligent guys, because we are October. Only those who love work are called Octobers.
- We are truthful guys because we are October. We will never let our friends down, anywhere, in anything.
- We are funny guys because we are Octobers. We share our songs, dances, and laughter equally among everyone.
The Legend of October
In distant, distant mysterious times, there lived children just like you - brave, daring and curious. They lived in a wonderful country of green forests, blue lakes and rivers. One thing was bad for them - they could not leave their city, because there were no roads yet, only rare paths that did not go further than the familiar forest. And there were no signs that would lead home...
But one day in the fall, in October, when the stars in the sky are the highest, a shooting star streaked across the blue night sky. She was very small and fell straight into the city, onto one of the squares.
Curious and brave residents looked in surprise at the star, which shone with a warm, bright golden light. This light illuminated the entire city and hit the night sky with a bright beam. A lot of time passed, the residents got used to the night starlight, but during this time the star did not go out a bit.
And then the brave and curious children of the city decided to go on a journey to unprecedented lands. They split into several detachments, and each went to their own direction of the world. Every evening they looked back and saw the ray of a star above the tops of the trees, which shone as brightly as before. Their journey lasted many days. Along the way they encountered dangerous trials, secrets, riddles, adventures and, of course, new friends. Along the way, they learned to recognize the world around them through their own actions. And they returned to their city into the light of the stars, and then they told other children interesting stories about distant countries, and new detachments of little brave men set off on wonderful expeditions.
Many years later, the star began to fade. The extinguished star became a symbol of the beginning of all the roads that by that time the residents of the city had built to all countries of the world. The place where the star was was called the “zero kilometer” - the beginning of all roads, and the brave brave children were called the Octobrists.
Concerned, Mensker turned to TUT.BY with a request to explain to him the activities of the Oktyabryat organization and the legality of the MANDATORY entry into it of junior school students from the Borovlyany secondary school.How TUT.BY found out Many schoolchildren in Borovlyany have already brought a similar statement to their parents. Olga, the mother of a second-grader at the Borovlyany gymnasium, says:
“A month and a half ago, my son brought me an application from school to join the ranks of the Octobrists and, with the words “How will I be without a badge?” asked me to sign. To which my dad promised to buy him other badges, but did not support the idea of joining the Octobrists. There was no pressure on this matter, although perhaps we were just lucky with our class teacher. I think no one is forcing anyone to join the Octobrist, it’s just that the children don’t want to be left without a badge or somehow stand out among their peers, so they tell their parents that the application must be signed."
TUT.BY contacted the Belarusian Republican Youth Union, a subdivision of which is the Oktyabryata group. As the curator of this group, Natalya Valerievna, told us, today there are 232 thousand Octobrists in Belarus.
This program is designed for children aged 6-9 years (upon reaching the age of 10, the child joins the ranks of the pioneers). The "Octobers" program is exclusively voluntary, however, according to the Charter, children under 14 years of age can join the organization only with the permission of adults. Therefore, explains Natalya Valerievna, for a child who wants to become an October student, the signature of the parents in the application for the admission of their child to an October student is MANDATORY. It’s interesting that some children, against the wishes of adults, even forge signatures on the application just to join the ranks of the Octobrists, the program curator told us.
The main goal of the "Octobers" program is to foster independence and patriotism in children. As part of the program, the pioneer squad constantly works with the October students. During classes, which are held once every 1-2 weeks, children are taught the history of Belarus and are introduced to the state symbols of the country. Actions are regularly held to involve elementary school students in active social activities: helping nature, the elderly, according to the official website of the Belarusian Republican Youth Union.
The entrance fee to the ranks of the "Oktyabryat" is 1500 Belarusian rubles. At any time, a child can leave the organization by writing a statement.
A distinctive attribute of the October sign is an icon in red and green tones.
By the way
The first groups of "Oktyabryat" arose in 1923-24 in Moscow under detachments of pioneers. They accepted children who were the same age as the October Revolution of 1917, hence the name of the group “Octobers”.
