Young Pioneer camp and sanatorium, Crimea, Russia
A depiction of the international Young Pioneer camp and sanatorium in the Crimea, then part of Russia, now in the Ukraine. A group of Young Pioneers can be seen on the left, in YP uniform. The camp (known as Artek) was set up in 1925 near the Black Sea in the town of Gurzuf located on the Crimean peninsula, near Medved Mountain. The Young Pioneers was a large Soviet organisation for children aged 10 to 15, and it was regarded as an honour to attend the camp
