Figure 1.--This is the standard Soviet boys' school uniform worn during the 1980s. The white shirt here has a badge on it. We think this is a Pioneer badge rather than a school badge. Notice the red Pioneer neckerchief. |

Here we see the white school shirt and red Pioneer neckerchief. The white shirt is 100 percent cotton, meaning it had to be ironed. It was a long sleeved shirt with pointed collar tips. The buttons look be translucent plastic. This shirt had a Young Pioneer badge on it. That means that it would be worn on days that Young Pioneer activities were planned at school. I believe that most boys had plain white shirts for most days, but this needs to be confirmed. The neckerchief, however, was normally worn every day.
