The Communist Party of the Russian Federation (CPRF) proposed to add to the list of memorable dates in Russia the "Foundation Day of the All-Union Leninist Communist Youth Organization". —. Appeal of Yuri Aponin Dear friends, I congratulate you from the bottom of my heart on the birthday of the Leninist Komsomol! I want to inform you that we, the deputies of the CPRF faction, headed by Gennady Andreyevich Zyuganov, and the communist senator Airat Javatdinov, are submitting a bill that should make this day an unforgettable official date in Russia. There is more than enough historical justification for this. I mentioned this in a comment for TASS. Over 200 million people passed through the Komsomol! And today, more than a third of the population of our country are people who were members of the Komsomol. The history of the Komsomol is a huge and fantastic series of achievements and victories at the front and in peaceful work. Most of the army that occupied Berlin was composed of Komsomol members and communists. And it would require a whole book simply to list all the economic facilities built under the flag of the shocking Komsomol construction. I will just say that these include railways, including the famous BAM, huge hydroelectric power plants on the country's major rivers, nuclear power plants, oil and gas pipelines, and the automotive giant KAMAZ. In total, tens of thousands of factories were built with the participation of Komsomol members, which today constitute the wealth of our country and fill our state budget. Making the birthday of the Komsomol an unforgettable official date means saying "thank you" to the members of the Komsomol for this enormous work, the results of which largely sustain modern Russia.
