[...] At the time of writ ing of the report, all key ideological youth organisations started operating there, beginning with the Movement of the First which is, in fact, a rebirth of the Soviet pioneer organisation, and ending with the Young Guard of United Russia, a modern version of the Soviet Young Communist League, the Komsomol of the incumbent party of power. [...] The training programme also covered the basics of drone control, the study of types of weapons, military equipment and munitions in service of the Russian Armed Forces, and regulatory acts of the Ministry of Defence of the RF.
