October 29 - Komsomol's birthday On October 29, 1918, at the First All-Russian Congress of Workers' and Peasants' Youth Unions, it was decided to establish the Russian Communist Youth Union (RCYU). Later, the name of the organization was changed twice: in 1924 it received the name Lenin, and in 1926 the word "All-Union" appeared in the name, and since then it received its final name - Komsomol (All-Union Communist Youth Union). Komsomol members made a great contribution to the victory over fascism.
