The press-centre of “Carabela” Squadron was founded in early October 1965 when the first official task of the magazine “Pioneer” to the Central Union of All-Union Pioneer’s Organization (Moscow City) was received.
On November 9, 1965, the official certificate confirming the status of “Veter” Press Centre was received in Sverdlovsk (Yekaterinburg). Since then all the documents of the press-centre have were issued in two printed forms: wall newspapers and publications in external (large) press.
In every 100 issues the wall-newspapers are renamed. It happens because the life around us changes. The newcomers join the squadron for whom many new topics to be typed may be pressing. The main condition which remains intact when choosing the name is communication with the squadron life.

For 40 years the wall-newspaper had titles such as: “Tigryonok Sanka”, “Pingvin”, “Flibustier”, “Petushok”, “Beydevind”, “Barabanschiki”, “Na abordazh!”, “Gardemarin”, “Ankerok”, “Ninya”, “Bormotunchik”, “Avizo”. Moreover, there were a lot of special issues which could have had their own titles.
Another trend of activities by the press centre since 1972 has been the literary almanac “The Siny Krab.” It is issued annually. Its pages contain poems, short stories, narratives stories and even novels by the authors who are beginning their career in mastering literature excellence. “The Krab” also publishes journalistic works which are fundamental in their volumes and which cannot be typed in wall newspapers due to the lack of space.
