Pavlik Morozov, Russian communist youth who was glorified as a martyr by the Soviet regime. The son of poor peasants, Morozov was the leader of the Young Pioneers group at his village school and was a fanatical supporter of the Soviet governments collectivization drive in the countryside. In 1930, at age 12, he gained notoriety for denouncing his father. In court Morozov charged that his father had forged documents and sold favours to kulaks (i.e., rich peasants who were resisting the collectivization drive). As a consequence of his denunciations, Morozov was brutally murdered by several local kulaks.
