Heres another persons view of the antigun PSA. From my wife who lived through this type of garbage. After watching it, she said two words; Pavlik Morozov Heres the Executive Summary of Pavlik Morozov: Soviet Boy Hero The most popular account of the story is as follows. Born to poor peasants in Gerasimovka, a small village 350 kilometers north-east of Yekaterinburg (then known as Sverdlovsk), Morozov was a dedicated communist who led the Young Pioneers at his school, and a supporter of Stalins collectivization of farms. In 1932, at the age of 13, Morozov reported his father to the political police (GPU). Supposedly, Morozovs father, the Chairman of the Village Soviet, had been forging documents and selling them to the bandits and enemies of the Soviet State (as the sentence read). The elder Morozov, Trofim, was sentenced to ten years in a labour camp, and later executed.[1] However, Pavliks family did not take kindly to his activities; on September 3 of that year, his uncle, grandfather, grandmother and a cousin murdered him, along with his younger brother. All of them except the uncle were rounded up by the GPU and sentenced to the highest measure of social defense - execution by a firing squad. Thousands of telegrams from all over the Soviet Union urged the judge to show no mercy for Pavliks killers. The Soviet government declared Pavlik Morozov a glorious martyr who had been murdered by reactionaries. Statues of him were built, and numerous schools and youth groups were named in his honour. An opera and numerous songs were written about him. Gerasimovkas school, which Morozov attended, became a shrine and children from all over the Soviet Union went on school excursions to visit it... Evidence has emerged since the dissolution of the Soviet Union of the fabrication of the Pavlik Morozov legend... youtu.be/QIa4NkQXm8Y
