Or the Soviet Union:

The Myth of Pavlik Morozov, Stalin’s Poster Boy for Patriotism, Unravels
Julius Strauss, writing in news.telegraph.co.uk (Dec. 27, 2003):

Even by the high-octane standards of Stalinist-era propaganda, the storyline was a powerful one.

Pavlik Morozov was a handsome 14-year-old schoolboy who lived in a tiny Siberian village, never played truant, always did his homework and was polite to his teachers. He loved communism so much that when his own father broke the law he informed on him to the authorities.

When Pavlik’s vengeful relatives found out, they sneaked up on him as he was picking berries in the woods with his little brother and stabbed him to death.

For generations the story of Pavlik the boy martyr was taught to tens of millions of schoolchildren throughout the Soviet Union.

The embodiment of fierce Soviet patriotism, he was pronounced Pioneer-Hero No 1 and elevated to the rank of communism’s untouchables. (snip)
