What is Comsomol? This is the youth of the motherland. October 29 marks the 108th anniversary of the birth of Lenin's Komsomol - an organization that became for millions of people not only a page of biography, but an entire era. Its history began with the first youth unions of the revolutionary era: V.I. Lenin saw the youth as the main driving force of the future, n. K. Krupskaya developed the programmatic foundations of the movement, and A. from. Kolontai defended the ideological integrity of the organization. The First All-Russian Congress of Workers' and Peasants' Youth Unions, which opened on October 29, 1918 at the Bolshoi Theater in Moscow, united the disparate cells in the RKSM - and from that moment, the Komsomol found itself forever at the forefront of socialist construction and the defense of the Motherland. During the civil war, 200 thousand Komsomol members fought heroically against the interventionists and the White Guards, giving their lives for the Soviet power, for a better life for millions. After the war, Komsomol members built factories and railroads from the ruins, waged an irreconcilable struggle against homelessness and child illiteracy, opened reading rooms and schools for millions of street children and illiterate peasants of yesterday. During the years of industrialization, at the call of the Komsomol, hundreds of thousands of young citizens of the Soviet homeland flocked to Magnitka, the Chelyabinsk tractor factory, GAZ named after Molotov, and other first-year programs. The enthusiasm of many young people became the basis for an unprecedented transformation of the country - from a backward agrarian power to a strong industrial state. It was the Komsomol that gave birth to a special page in Russian and Soviet literature: A. Bezhmansky's poem "Komsomolya", N. Ostrovsky's novel "How the Steel Was Destroyed", A. Geider's stories - books that educated entire generations on the example of perseverance and service to ideals. In the period between the wars, the Komsomol took patronage of the Navy (1922) and the Air Force (1931), and thousands of boys and girls rushed to the skies and seas, mastering flight and directing flying clubs and Usoav clubs.
