To all those celebrating the birthday of the Komsomol in the picture - the Executive Committee of the Second Congress of the Comintern, Petrograd, July 1920, against the background of the Taurid Palace The picture is beautiful and intriguing in itself, but now we are only interested in two people. The young man in the sailor suit is Lazar Shatskin; According to the official version, he was the one who invented the Komsomol at the age of 16, and then headed it. Shatkin was shot in 1937 but the man behind Shatkin is much more interesting. This is Tom Quelch, a hereditary British aristocrat, sometimes a socialist, who has lived in Moscow permanently since 1924, and works for the Masons' Union. According to open sources, someone retired in 1952 and returned to live in London. This is the true founder of the Komsomol (he worked through the ideas of the Communist Youth Organization: formulated the principles, structure, goals and objectives) the techniques and guides of the Anglo-Saxons have been tested in time, yes to be in the center of action!
