The Soviet Union after signing a Non-aggression Pact with NAZI Germany in 1939, invaded and occupied Latvia and the other Baltic Republics (1940). I do not have information on schoolwear during this period. The Soviets had a school uniform, but there probably was not time to fully make the change. The Young Pioneers was brought into the school, but uniforms in this period were not as commonly worn as after the War. Here we see boys wearing the Young Pioneer uniforms for a school play. We have noted that in the Soviet Union that children often wore Young Pioneer uniforms for special occassions, but most children might more commonly just wear the red neckerchief.
