Little Octobrists

The group was divided into subgroups called little stars (Russian: звёздочки, romanized: zvyozdochki), of five children each.

Every Little Octobrist wore a ruby-coloured five-pointed star badge with the portrait of Vladimir Lenin in his childhood.

The group is led by a Komsomol member allocated by the RLKSM cell and who is an assistant to the leader of the pioneer detachment.

Initially, after joining the ranks of the Octobrists, children wore a red star sewn on their shirt, on their left chest.
