Komsomol is strength
And become a worker,
Komsomol members are ready,
Help everyone in life,
Do not break the Komsomol members,
They are standing strong!
We fought until victory
For your fatherland!

Does anyone remember the Komsomol?
There was a huge table then.
Someone was chosen there
They didn't blame fate so much.

We walked as pioneers
And they weren’t rude to the elders either.
These would be the times
And now it's destroyed
That former power and strength.
It used to be beautiful.

If you remember the Komsomol,
Then come to my table.
And now we congratulate everyone,
Let's make the Komsomol love you.

Congratulations on Komsomol Day. I wish you warm memories and happiness in life, justice and moral stability, high success and wonderful ideas, creative thinking, good health and good luck.

Let the Komsomol be in the past,
But he is in our hearts!
After all, we still remember
This fire in the eyes!

We can't forget that time
When young people
There was one idea -
There is no Motherland more valuable!

Glory to Komsomol,
After all, he united us all!
Let the whole country
He will remember him now!

Happy Komsomol Day!
Love, kindness, big victories,
I wish you health, happiness and warmth.
And live, of course, for many years.

May your endeavors be successful
Let your income always increase.
Let your wishes come true
Well, adversity never bothers you.

Today is the Komsomol holiday,
We haven't forgotten about him
After all, this is the school of our life,
Bonfires, hikes are magic,

And this is help to the incompetent,
Support for those who are short!
You, as before, are busy with business,
I'm not tired of being a Komsomol member!

Happy Komsomol Day! I wish you well
So that your life is filled with warmth,
Everything worked out easily, with a bang,
And I couldn’t dream of anything else!

Let the Komsomol be somewhere in the past already,
Don’t forget the songs you have by the fire,
May it remain forever in your soul
Friendship and loyalty are the beauty!

Komsomol beautiful day
We are still celebrating.
How many joyful emotions
And wonderful, kind words.

Let your soul burn with passion
The flame of youth is always there.
Will preserve the memory forever
Well done years.

Live in kindness and understanding,
And keep love in your soul.
Believe in a bright calling
And it’s always fun to live.

In vain do people say
That the Komsomol is no longer needed,
We remember many years in a row
About hard times.

They went to the right battle, side by side
Just guys,
To build a new life,
They had to become soldiers

They plowed up the virgin soil,
We were able to build BAM,
We must say thank you
And grandfathers and fathers.

And let other times
From now on they are coming
But the Komsomol members inspired us,
It will be a shining example!

Happy Red Day, Happy Komsomol Day!
The proud banner flew for a long time,
School of kindness and honor,
A lighthouse of a clear conscience.

Let, in memory of the great,
The light in the heart will not go out,
And in the many-sided Fatherland
There will be happiness for many years!

The holiday has come to us today -
Congratulations to the Komsomol!
Let him be like this
We didn't like it sometimes
Let him want a lot from us,
I couldn’t stand different thoughts...
But he WAS, and that's the point.
I'll drink to him with confidence!

October 29 is the birthday of the Komsomol! On this day, back in 1918, at the First All-Russian Congress of Unions of Workers' and Peasants' Youth, the Russian Communist Youth Union (RCYU) was formed, which in 1924 became Lenin's, and since 1926 - All-Union. According to the Komsomol Charter, young men and women aged from 14 to 28 years old. In 1971, over 28 million young people of all nations and nationalities of the USSR were members of the Komsomol. Over 50 years, more than 100 million Soviet citizens attended political school in the Komsomol. The main task of the Komsomol was to help the party educate young men and women on the ideas of Marxism-Leninism, on the heroic traditions of the revolutionary struggle, on the examples of the selfless labor of workers, collective farmers, and intelligentsia, to develop and strengthen among young people a class approach to all phenomena of social life, to prepare persistent, highly educated, labor-loving builders of communism. This holiday was established in memory of the day when, in 1918, the First All-Russian Congress of Workers' and Peasants' Youth decided to create the Russian Communist Youth Union, which later became known as the All-Union Leninist Communist Youth Union (VLKSM). For several generations of Soviet people, the Komsomol is their restless youth, large-scale construction projects, heroism and real Komsomol brotherhood. At one time, two hundred million citizens of the country were Komsomol members, for whom this day, even after it lost its ideological meaning, remained a real holiday. .The color of our youth, the honor of our homeland. In the last century I could have helped you, I would have lit you up both in deed and in verb. Then Yesenin himself was not averse to “having his pants up and running after the Komsomol.” There... instead of candy - Kronstadt ice, And the virgin soil dreamed of youth... Then youth flew forward! And now suddenly she’s limping on both of them. Today, the Ostankino needle is driving a severe hangover into her blood. And the future walks the earth, groping, as if in a dark dungeon. Two centuries have passed each other for centuries. Life becomes weaker in generational gaps. The overthrow of the Komsomol badge deprived youth of the joy of accomplishment. And the names are not heard today. And before, even the young people had a banner. And the country, which did not know their patronymics, was proud of the young names. The pulse of ideas beat in hot hearts, When pathos was friends with adrenaline. And there were no more reliable people with the scope of the TRP and DOSAAF. They entered history in the glow of victory in a cosmic shirt. The white light rested on their shoulders... And now the oligarchs have attached themselves. And they draw blood from the wells of our veins, And oil from former Komsomol construction sites. The Soviet Union lived in youth. And youth cannot live without heroics. And the beardless guard will still present an account to the Kremlin hypocrites. And the faded Komsomol badge will stick into the lapel of the self-proclaimed era. And in the dying crises of the world, We will still be saved by the insight, That the cosmos of life is dead without the Koshevo-Kosmodemyansky radiations of the sun. (L. Kornilov) The Soviet Union lived in youth. And youth cannot live without heroics. And the beardless guard will still present an account to the Kremlin hypocrites.

RADIO SPEECH BY THE DEPUTY CHAIRMAN OF THE COUNCIL OF PEOPLE'S COMMISSARS OF THE USSR AND THE PEOPLE'S COMMISSAR FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS COM. V. M. MOLOTOVA

CITIZENS AND CITIZENS OF THE SOVIET UNION!

The Soviet government and its head, Comrade. Stalin instructed me to make the following statement:

Today, at 4 o'clock in the morning, without presenting any claims to the Soviet Union, without declaring war, German troops attacked our country, attacked our borders in many places and bombed our cities - Zhitomir, Kiev - from their planes , Sevastopol, Kaunas and some others, and more than two hundred people were killed and wounded. Enemy aircraft raids and artillery shelling were also carried out from Romanian and Finnish territory.

This unheard of attack on our country is a treachery unparalleled in the history of civilized nations. The attack on our country was carried out despite the fact that a non-aggression treaty was concluded between the USSR and Germany and the Soviet government fulfilled all the terms of this treaty in all good faith. The attack on our country was carried out despite the fact that during the entire duration of this treaty the German government could never make a single claim against the USSR regarding the implementation of the treaty. All responsibility for this predatory attack on the Soviet Union falls entirely on the German fascist rulers.

After the attack, the German ambassador in Moscow, Schulenburg, at 5:30 a.m. made me, as the People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs, a statement on behalf of his government that the German government had decided to go to war against the USSR in connection with the concentration of Red Army units in the eastern German border.

In response to this, on behalf of the Soviet government, I stated that until the last minute the German government did not make any claims against the Soviet government, that Germany carried out an attack on the USSR, despite the peace-loving position of the Soviet Union, and that thereby fascist Germany is the attacker side.

On behalf of the government of the Soviet Union, I must also state that at no point did our troops and our aviation allow the border to be violated, and therefore the statement made by Romanian radio this morning that Soviet aviation allegedly fired at Romanian airfields is a complete lie and provocation. The entire today’s declaration by Hitler, who is trying to retroactively concoct incriminating material about the Soviet Union’s non-compliance with the Soviet-German Pact, is the same lie and provocation.

Now that the attack on the Soviet Union has already taken place, the Soviet government has given our troops an order to repulse the bandit attack and expel German troops from the territory of our homeland. This war was imposed on us not by the German people, not by the German workers, peasants and intellectuals, whose suffering we well understand, but by a clique of bloodthirsty fascist rulers of Germany who enslaved the French, Czechs, Poles, Serbs, Norway, Belgium, Denmark, Holland, Greece and other peoples .

The Government of the Soviet Union expresses its unshakable confidence that our valiant army and navy and the brave falcons of Soviet aviation will honorably fulfill their duty to their homeland, to the Soviet people, and will deal a crushing blow to the aggressor.

This is not the first time our people have had to deal with an attacking, arrogant enemy. At one time, our people responded to Napoleon’s campaign in Russia with a Patriotic War and Napoleon was defeated and came to his collapse. The same will happen to the arrogant Hitler, who announced a new campaign against our country. The Red Army and all our people will once again wage a victorious patriotic war for the homeland, for honor, for freedom.

The Government of the Soviet Union expresses its firm confidence that the entire population of our country, all workers, peasants and intellectuals, men and women, will treat their duties and their work with due consciousness. Our entire people must now be united and united as never before. Each of us must demand from ourselves and from others discipline, organization, and dedication worthy of a true Soviet patriot in order to provide all the needs of the Red Army, Navy and Air Force to ensure victory over the enemy.

The government calls on you, citizens of the Soviet Union, to rally your ranks even more closely around our glorious Bolshevik Party, around our Soviet government, around our great leader Comrade. Stalin.

Our cause is just. The enemy will be defeated. Victory will be ours.

On October 29, 1918, at the First All-Russian Congress of Unions of Workers' and Peasants' Youth, a decision was made to unite individual disparate unions into an all-Russian organization with a single center, working under the leadership of the Bolshevik Communist Party - the Russian Communist Youth Union (RCYU).

In 1924, after the death of V.I. Lenin, it received the name of the leader, and in 1926 it was renamed the All-Union Leninist Communist Youth Union (VLKSM). Over 73 years, more than 160 million people passed through the ranks of the Komsomol. For example, in 1977 alone, over 36 million young people of all nations and nationalities of the USSR were members of the Komsomol.


One of the bright pages in the history of the Komsomol was the initiation and support in 1978–1990 of the YHC (youth housing complex) movement - a large-scale socio-economic experiment that escaped centralized control. The activists of the new youth movement, having comprehended the foundations of the ideology of building communism and in practice encountered the essence of this ideology, in the late 1980s moved to the position of democratization and decommunization of the country. In fact, representatives of the MWK at the last, XXI Congress of the Komsomol, were the main supporters of the liquidation of the all-Union communist youth organization.


The decision to dissolve the All-Union Leninist Communist Youth Union was made on September 27–28, 1991 at the XXII Extraordinary Congress of the Komsomol.
In modern Russia, the ideological successors of the Komsomol are various youth public organizations.



Were some kind of people once upon a time
Young children and boys.
It's good, that's good.
And be careful not to be lazy.
Stɑρшux u dρyg-dρygɑ yʙɑzhɑlu,
Hugo was not bullied anywhere.
My body hurts a lot
This is our mighty loss.
I wish you a good day,
Tex, which means: “Young”,
Tex, who went this way.
Happy birthday, homomol!

The glorious path traveled, the honorably deserved military and labor awards, remained in the past, when all activities began to be reduced to regular reports and events for show, and the organization itself turned into a huge bureaucratic apparatus. Nevertheless (or because of this), among the successful bankers, entrepreneurs, and politicians today there are many former Komsomol leaders of various ranks.

The day is now gone -
Let me pray!
Let him be the one,
We don't need to sing,
I wanted a lot from him,
New thoughts are not warm...
But he WOULD be, that’s the point.
I drink it boldly!

On October 29 - November 4, 1918, the First All-Russian Congress of Unions of Workers' and Peasants' Youth was held, at which the creation of the RKSM was proclaimed. The initiator of the creation and the main ideologist of the Komsomol organization was V.I. Lenin. “Tasks of Youth Unions”, read out by him at the III All-Russian Komsomol Congress in October 1920, became the fundamental ideological document of the Komsomol for many years. Local history information: The city of Simbirsk was founded at the beginning of the 17th century and until 1780 it was called Sinbirsk. In 1780 it was renamed the city of Simbirsk. On April 22, 1970, V.I. Ulyanov (pseudonym - Lenin) was born in this city, and in the year of V.I. Lenin’s death (1924), the city of Simbirsk was renamed the city of Ulyanovsk after the name of this great revolutionary, founder of the Bolshevik Party, leader of the Oktyabrskaya revolution of 1917, the first Soviet political and statesman.

After the congress, general meetings of unions of worker and peasant youth were held in all regions or, as they were called then, provinces. The chronicle of the heroic deeds of the Komsomol is endless. Six orders burn brightly on his banner. This is national recognition of the Komsomol’s services to the Motherland. Everyone knew the Komsomol heroes: Lyubov Shevtsova, Oleg Koshevoy, Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya, Alexander Matrosov, Liza Chaikina... Eternal glory and memory to them!

Very soon Komsomol remained the only political youth organization in the RSFSR, and then in the USSR. Through the structure of this organization, the ideological education of youth was carried out, and political and social projects were implemented. Under the leadership of Komsomol, a children's political organization was created in 1922: the All-Russian, and later the All-Union Pioneer Organization named after V.I. Lenin. It consisted of Soviet boys and girls aged 14 to 28 years, who had previously been in the ranks of the Octobrists (from 7 to 9 years old) and Pioneers (from 9 to 14 years old).

Slide description:

Komsomol is an organization that for decades served as a school of life for many generations of Soviet people; an organization that has made a huge contribution to the heroic history of our Motherland; an organization that today and in the future will unite young people who are not indifferent to the fate of the country and people, in whose hearts the flame of the struggle for justice burns, so that a working person can walk with his head held high across the land, forever freed from exploitation, poverty and lawlessness.

Slide 9

Slide description:

There are no other examples in history of such a powerful youth movement as the Lenin Komsomol. In peacetime and during wars, shoulder to shoulder with the communists, Komsomol members were the first to go into battle, to virgin lands, to construction sites, into space and led the youth. At every historical milestone, the Komsomol promoted from its midst thousands and thousands of young heroes who glorified it with their exploits. Their example of selfless service to the Motherland and people will always be in the memory of current and future generations.

Slide description:

Komsomol is an organization that shapes a person and his personal qualities. Here the life views of young people were affirmed, and the first experience of social work was acquired here. Komsomol is the foundation that formed the Soviet man. Komsomol is youth. Komsomol - these are the most wonderful memories! Komsomol is energy, determination, the desire to turn this world upside down and make it better!

Slide description:

RKSM was an active participant in the Civil War; he carried out three all-Russian mobilizations to the front. According to incomplete data, the Komsomol sent over 75 thousand of its members to the Red Army in 1918-20. Many Komsomol members died brave deaths in battles to defend the gains of the October Revolution. In severe trials, the Komsomol grew stronger and stronger. Despite the enormous sacrifices he made on the fronts, his numbers increased 20 times: in October 1918 - 22,100, in October 1920 - 482,000. In commemoration of military merits on the fronts of the Civil War in the period 1919-20 against the troops of the White Guard generals Kolchak , Denikin, Yudenich, Belopoles and Wrangel, the Komsomol in 1928 was awarded the Order of the Red Banner by a resolution of the Presidium of the Central Executive Committee of the USSR.

Slide description:

The Great Patriotic War of 1941-45 was a severe test for the entire Soviet people and their young generation. The Komsomol and all Soviet youth, at the call of the Communist Party, came out to fight the Nazi invaders. Already in the first year of the war, about 2 million Komsomol members joined the ranks of the Red Army. For outstanding services to the Motherland during the Great Patriotic War and for his great work in educating Soviet youth in the spirit of selfless devotion to the socialist Fatherland, the Komsomol was awarded the Order of Lenin by Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR on June 14, 1945.

Slide 13

Slide description:

Being a member of the Komsomol did not give any privileges, except for one - to be the first where it is difficult, and sometimes even most dangerous. This was the case after the war. In the fifties, it was Komsomol members who went to develop the virgin lands, build the Bratsk and Krasnoyarsk hydroelectric power stations, built the beautiful city of Mirny, and later the Baikal-Amur Mainline and others. This was by no means a tourist trip for adventure - we had to work in very difficult conditions. But the boys and girls went to these construction sites because their life principle was the famous words: “There is a good tradition in the Komsomol family: first think about the Motherland, and then about yourself.”

Slide 14

Slide description:

On September 27-28, 1991, the XXII Extraordinary Congress of the Komsomol was held, declaring the historical role of the Komsomol exhausted and dissolving the organization. RSM and other republican youth organizations continued to exist as independent national youth organizations of the respective republics that were part of the USSR.

Slide description:

Throughout its history, the Komsomol is inextricably linked with the greatest transformations carried out in our country over these years. 9 decades of the heroic biography of the Komsomol are more than 150 million people who went through an excellent school of life, education, courage and bravery in the Komsomol ranks. These are 6 orders on his Red Banner - high awards of his homeland for his military exploits and the selfless work of millions of young people in the name of a bright future.

On February 20, 1928, in commemoration of military merits for unparalleled heroism during the civil war and foreign intervention, the Soviet government awarded the Komsomol the Order of the Red Banner. On January 21, 1931, for the initiative shown in the cause of shock work and socialist competition, which ensured the successful implementation of the first five-year plan for the development of the country's national economy, the Soviet government awarded the Komsomol the Order of the Red Banner of Labor. On June 14, 1945, for outstanding services to the Motherland during the Great Patriotic War of the Soviet Union against Nazi Germany, for great work in educating Soviet youth in the spirit of selfless devotion to the socialist Fatherland, the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR awarded the Komsomol the Order of Lenin.

Lenin and in connection with the 50th anniversary of the Komsomol, he was awarded the Order of the October Revolution.

The history of the Komsomol is a living and passionate document. Flipping through its pages, we feel the breath of the era, see the unique connection of times and generations. Komsomol generations... Many songs and poems have been written about them, novels have been written, and films have been made. Each generation brought its own uniqueness, its own biography, its own courage into history. For one generation, it was the revolution, the civil war and the first five-year plans; for others, the Great Patriotic War; the youth of others fell on the heroic working years of post-war reconstruction. Someone raised virgin soil, discovered oil reserves in Tyumen, laid the Baikal-Amur Mainline, built Magnitka and Turksib, someone erected power plants in Siberia, conquered the heights of scientific and technological progress and space, and all this was accomplished in unprecedented historical times with energy and the labor of youth.
