A day in history Komsomol's birthday The Komsomol's birthday is celebrated in Russia every year on October 29. At the First All-Russian Congress of Workers' and Peasants' Youth Unions on October 29, 1918, a decision was made to establish the Russian Communist Youth Union - RKSM. Later the name of this organization was changed twice: in 1924 it was named after Lenin, and in 1926 the word "All-Union" appeared in the name. As a result, the Komsomol became the All-Union Communist Youth League of Leninists. 108 years to Education Day!
