Origins of the organization
In October 1940, Ivan Yatsuk and Yuri Shokk , senior pupils of school No. 1 in the city of Jalal-Abad, organized a circle called True Communists, which was joined by other tenth graders. Ivan Yatsuk , Yuri Shokk , Alexander Yelin , Shamil Gubaidulin and Kamil Salakhutdinov , who formed the core of the circle, considered the regime established by Stalin in the USSR as counter-revolutionary and set themselves the task of combating the activities of the party and government in order to return to Marxism, which was not perverted by the personality cult . From here their self-name came.
By social origin, Ivan Yatsuk and Alexander Yelin were from peasants, Shamil Gubaidulin and Kamil Salakhutdinov from families of employees, and Yuri Shokk from a family of workers. At the same time, Shokka's father was repressed in 1937, and his mother was expelled from Leningrad in 1938.
