We have already talked about what a huge role the Komsomol organizations play in the countryside, what responsibility the party places on them. The strong, close-knit Komsomol organization enjoys great influence among the collective farm youth, and the progressive collective farm youth here joins the Komsomol. The more advanced youth the primary Komsomol organization unites in its ranks, the more its influence will be on the entire course of affairs on the collective farm, the more assistance it will be able to render to the country and the front.
Often, Komsomol organizations cannot seriously influence collective farm affairs just because they are few in number. And we still have many such organizations. They usually consist of 3-5 Komsomol members, while on the collective farm there are dozens of young men and women who honestly work in the artel economy, deserve to be in the ranks of the Komsomol.
This situation can only be explained by the fact that the Komsomol members do not show initiative, are poorly connected with young people, and do not involve them in their work.
Young people are now a decisive force in collective farms, state farms and machine and tractor stations. Therefore, her involvement in the ranks of the Komsomol, her involvement in active work in the Komsomol is of particular importance.
There are many collective farms with 50 or more Komsomol members. In such collective farms, work is better argued. This is explained by the fact that the Komsomol organization here constantly works with young people, attracts them to all their endeavors, carries them away with interesting cultural work. With the best young collective farmers, who have won great respect for their selfless work, secretaries and committee members often talk about the Komsomol, tell them about the heroic past of the youth union, about the military exploits of the Komsomol at the front patriotic war... And the advanced youth willingly goes to the Komsomol.
The experience of the Komsomol organization of the Novy Put collective farm in the Kostroma region is very indicative in this respect. Yaroslavl regionwhich was mentioned in the previous chapters of this book. In a short time, the Komsomol organization here grew from 3 to 50 Komsomol members.
How did friendship with youth begin? At first, the Komsomol members created a drama circle. Many young collective farmers have signed up for it. The performances captivated them. They came to the club every night. It has always been interesting and fun here: a play is being rehearsed, choral rehearsals are arranged, dances are started to the sound of an accordion, someone is reading an interesting book aloud in a quiet room. And all this was organized by the Komsomol members with the lively participation of non-union youth. Evenings are organized here, at which all the youth of the collective farm are present.
Often after a hard day, Komsomol members went to the city in a group to watch a performance or a new movie. They were usually joined by many young people. In winter, ski trainings were held here, further skiing trips.
Committee secretary Zina Kashitsyna and other activists often talk with young collective farmers about the hysteria of the Komsomol, acquaint them with the charter and program of the Komsomol.
Well-organized cultural work brought the Komsomol members closer to non-union youth. Thanks to this work, advanced youth apply for membership in the Komsomol. So the organization got stronger and became a great force in the collective farm.
This advanced experience is available to every Komsomol organization of the collective farm.
There are many ways to attract young people to the ranks of the Komsomol. It depends on the desire of the Komsomol members themselves to increase and strengthen their organization, on their initiative and ability to work among young people.
Who can become a member of the Komsomol?
The charter of the Komsomol answers this question in the following way: "The members of the Komsomol are admitted to the advanced, proven youth loyal to the Soviet power from among the workers, peasants and employees."
The age for joining the Komsomol is set from 14 to 26 years.
Who can be considered the foremost person in the collective farm village? Someone who works honestly, selflessly in the fields, who makes every effort to give the front more agricultural products, who sets an example of exemplary fulfillment of his duty to his homeland.
The secretary of the primary organization, Komsomol activists should tell a young man or girl who wants to join and is worthy of being accepted into the Komsomol about the heroic past of the Komsomol, about how young people who bear the high rank of members of the Leninist Komsomol participated in the socialist construction of our country, how they now they are defending the gains of October with arms in hand. The materials published in the first two chapters of this book will help the Komsomol member in conducting such conversations.

The organizational structure of the Lenin-Stalinist Komsomol has several million young men and women in its ranks. Such a large organization can work successfully only if there is a clear order in it, if every member of the Komsomol knows exactly his rights and responsibilities.
The organizational structure of the Komsomol is based on the territorial-production principle. Based on this principle, republican, regional, regional and district Komsomol organizations are created. At enterprises, collective farms, state farms, institutions, universities, schools and Red Army units, Komsomol members are united in primary Komsomol organizations.
The Komsomol is built on the principle of democratic centralism.

In the first year of the war, about 2 million Komsomol members joined the ranks of the Red Army. Komsomol members worked in the rear, providing the front with everything necessary.

The Komsomol is showing great concern for the training and retraining of Komsomol personnel.
The reasons for the collapse of the Komsomol organization.
The following reasons made the further existence of the Komsomol impossible. First, new realities have developed in the country, the principles of the national state structure have radically changed. Consequently, it is necessary to fundamentally change all socio-political institutions. No evolutionary transformation of the Komsomol can meet the new conditions. The second is in accordance with the law Russian Federation the activities of Komsomol organizations in the Armed Forces, border and internal troops were terminated. The third - the number of the Komsomol fell sharply, there are "many dead souls" in it. Fourth, a deep process of reform is underway in the regions and republics. Hence the conclusion: to consider the political role of the Komsomol as a federation of communist youth unions to be exhausted.

After the victory of the October Revolution, red children's organizations, groups and associations arose in various cities. On May 19, 1922, the 2nd All-Russian Conference of the Komsomol adopted a decision on the widespread creation of pioneer detachments.
In the first years of Soviet power, the pioneers helped street children and fought against illiteracy, collected books and set up libraries, studied in technical circles, looked after animals, went on geological trips, on expeditions to study nature, and collected medicinal plants. The pioneers worked on collective farms, in the fields, guarded crops and collective farm property, wrote letters to newspapers or to the relevant authorities about violations that they noticed around.
"AiF" recalls how in soviet time accepted in October, pioneers and who could become a Komsomol member.
What class did you take in October?
Schoolchildren of grades 1–3 became October revolutionaries, united on a voluntary basis into groups at the school's pioneer squad. The groups were led by counselors from among the pioneers or Komsomol members of the school. In these groups, children were preparing to join the All-Union Pioneer Organization named after V.I. Lenin.
When joining the ranks of the Octobrists, children were given a badge - a five-pointed star with a child's portrait of Lenin. The symbol was the red October flag.
In honor of the victory of the October Revolution since 1923, schoolchildren were called "October". The October Revolutions united in asterisks (an analogue of the pioneer link) - 5 October and also the "sickle" and "hammer" - the leader of the stars and his assistant. In an asterisk, an October child could take one of the positions - commander, florist, orderly, librarian or sportsman.
In the last decades of Soviet power, all students were accepted in October primary school, usually already in first grade.
Who was accepted as a pioneer?
Schoolchildren aged 9 to 14 were admitted to the pioneer organization. Formally, the admission was carried out on a voluntary basis. The selection of candidates was carried out by open voting at the assembly of the pioneer detachment (usually corresponding to the class) or at the highest - at the school level - the pioneer body: at the Council of the squad.
A student joining a pioneer organization made the Solemn Promise of a pioneer of the Soviet Union at the pioneer lineup (the text of the promise in the 1980s could be seen on the back cover of school notebooks). A communist, Komsomol member or senior pioneer handed the newcomer a red pioneer tie and a pioneer badge. The pioneer tie was a symbol of belonging to the pioneer organization, a part of its banner. The three ends of the tie symbolized the indestructible bond of three generations: communists, Komsomol members and pioneers; the pioneer was obliged to take care of his tie and take care of it.
The pioneers were greeted with a salute - a hand raised slightly above his head demonstrated that the pioneer puts public interests above personal ones. "Be ready!" - the counselor called upon the pioneers and heard in response: "Always ready!"
As a rule, pioneers were accepted in a solemn atmosphere during communist holidays in memorable historical and revolutionary places, for example, on April 22 near the monument to V.I.Lenin.
The following punishments were applied to members of the organization who violated the Laws of the Pioneers of the Soviet Union: discussion at the assembly of a link, squad, squad council; comment; exception warning; as a last resort - expulsion from the pioneer organization. They could be expelled from the pioneers for unsatisfactory behavior and hooliganism.
Collecting scrap metal and waste paper and other types of socially useful work, helping junior schoolchildren, participating in the military sports "Zarnitsy", classes in circles and, of course, excellent study - these are what pioneer everyday life was filled with.
How did you become Komsomol members?
They became members of the Komsomol from the age of 14. The reception was carried out individually. To submit an application, a recommendation from a communist or two Komsomol members with at least 10 months of experience was needed. After that, the application could be accepted for consideration by the school Komsomol organization, or they could not be accepted if they did not consider the submitter a worthy figure.
Those whose application was accepted were assigned an interview with the Komsomol committee (Komsomol council) and a representative of the district committee. To pass the interview, it was necessary to learn the charter of the Komsomol, the names of the key leaders of the Komsomol and the party, important dates and, most importantly, to answer the question: "Why do you want to become a Komsomol member?"
Any of the committee members could ask a tricky question during the trial stage. If the candidate successfully passed the interview, he was handed a Komsomol ticket, in which the payment of contributions was documented. Pupils and students paid 2 kopecks. per month, employed - one percent of the salary.
They could be expelled from the Komsomol for slovenliness, attending church, for non-payment of membership fees, for family troubles. The expulsion from the organization threatened with the lack of a good perspective and career in the future. The former Komsomol member did not have the right to join the party, go abroad, in some cases he was threatened with dismissal from his job.
The composer Vladimir Dashkevich, the author of music for such popular films as "Bumbarash", "Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson", "Heart of a Dog" and many others, had a repressed father, so the schoolchild should not even dream of a Komsomol. Dashkevich, nevertheless, entered the institute without hindrance, and did not think about membership in the Komsomol during his studies. However, later, while working as a foreman at the plant, Dashkevich was elected ... to the Komsomol bureau. The future composer was embarrassed to admit that he was not a member of the Komsomol, and he kept silent. For some time, before leaving for the Gnessin Institute, Vladimir Sergeevich even headed the factory brigade of communist labor. President of the Russian Stuntmen Association, producer, actor and film director Alexander Inshakov was only a pioneer. However, today Alexander Ivanovich has a generally good opinion of the Komsomol, and regrets that modern Russia there is no such authoritative youth organization dealing with mass socialization of the younger generation. St. Petersburg journalist, director and public figure Alexander Nevzorov not only did not get into the ranks of the Komsomol, but, according to his own statement, was expelled from the pioneers for picking a pioneer tie in the nose. Singer Lyudmila Senchina did not have time to join the Komsomol - her parents traveled a lot around the country. Therefore, the Honored Artist of Russia, unlike, for example, Lev Leshchenko and Valentina Tolkunova, did not receive any Komsomol awards.
