Pavlik Morozov was a well-known name in the Soviet Union and the whole Communist bloc. According to the official story, he was 14-years old in 1932, the year of Stalin’s forceful collectivization of the farms in the Cossack regions of Ukraine, Kuban, and Volga. Pavlik’s family opposed the collectivization and forged documents to prevent the confiscation of grain, livestock, and land which the Communist commissars conducted in their campaign to force the peasants into kolhozy (collective farms). Pavlik, a devout Communist from an early age, and a member of the Youth Communist League, reported on his father’s activities. His father was arrested and sued. In an act of retaliation, Pavlik’s grandfather and uncles rounded up Pavlik and his two 8-year-old brothers and stabbed them to death.
60 years later a Russian journalist discovered that the story was completely made up by the Communist propaganda. A boy named Pavlik did exist, but he was killed by a commissar, and then his father, grandfather, and uncles were killed by a police squad.
