Komsomol Day in Russia is celebrated on October 29. In 2026, this date falls on a Thursday. The holiday is related to the founding date of the Leninist Communist Youth Union (VLKSM). On October 29, 1918, the First All-Russian Congress of Workers' and Peasants' Youth Unions opened in Moscow - then the Russian Communist Youth Union (RCYU), which later received the name Komsomol, was formed. This date is not an official holiday. After the self-dissolution of Komsomol in 1991, the organization ceased to exist, but for many, October 29 remains an unforgettable date. On this day, thematic events are held in different cities: concerts, meetings of veterans, historical tours, thematic exhibitions. Schools sometimes hold classes devoted to the history of the Komsomol, or talks with its former activists. Happy holiday, dear friends!
