Pavel Trofimovich Morozov (Russian: ??´??? ?????´????? ????´???; 14 November 1918 – 3 September 1932), better known by the diminutive Pavlik, was a Soviet youth praised by the Soviet press as a martyr.
His story, dated to 1932, is that of a 13-year-old boy who denounced his father to the authorities and was in turn killed by his family.
His story was a subject of reading, songs, plays, a symphonic poem, a full-length opera and six biographies.
The apotheosic cult had a huge impact on the moral norms of generations of children, who were encouraged to inform on their parents.There is very little original evidence related to the story, much of it hearsay provided by second-hand witnesses.
According to modern research, the story (denunciation, trial) is most likely false, although Pavlik was a real child who was killed.
Morozov's story was the basis of Bezhin Meadow, an unreleased film from 1937 that was directed by Sergei Eisenstein, as well as the 2015 Latvian film Dawn.
