Admission to the Komsomol. The order of entry, symbols, organizational structure of the Komsomol organization
Pioneers
In the autumn of 1918, the children's organization of young communists (YUK) was created, but a year later it was disbanded. In November 1921, a decision was made to create an all-Russian children's organization. Children's groups operated in Moscow for several months, during the experiment pioneer symbols and attributes were developed, the name was adopted new organization- Detachments of young pioneers named after Spartak. On May 7, 1922, the first pioneer bonfire was held in the Sokolnichesky forest in Moscow.
In the Soviet Union, the Day of the All-Union Pioneer Organization named after V. I. Lenin, or, to put it more simply, Pioneer Day, was officially celebrated on May 19. It was on this day in 1922 that the 2nd All-Russian Conference of the Komsomol decided to create pioneer detachments everywhere. The social hierarchy: Octobrist - Pioneer - Komsomol member, was aimed at creating an internal ideological core in Soviet children and adolescents, the desire to grow and improve. The pioneer organization taught children how to live in a socialist society, how to coexist with their peers. Now many citizens see shortcomings in this approach to educating young people, they say, ideological clouding of the brain, which made puppets out of people. Even so, at that time the level of drug addiction and crime among young people was ultra-low, compared to our time. After the collapse of the USSR, Pioneer Day ceased to be an official holiday. Today Pioneer Day is unofficially celebrated by some children's organizations and companies involved in the organization of children's leisure. And there will always be people who remember the young pioneer years with pleasure.
Which of the Soviet pioneers does not remember the excitement with which he was preparing to join the ranks of a mass socio-political organization? How were scarlet ties tied to the sound of horns and drums? As for the first time in our lives we solemnly swore allegiance to the cause of Lenin and Communist Party? The Soviet country spared nothing for the young. Beautiful Palaces of Pioneers and children's camps were built. The very activity of children's communist organizations in the USSR and in other socialist countries had such a serious scale that it even surpassed in significance its "bourgeois" prototype and analogue - the scout movement. pioneer movement differed from it in significant aspects: the system was of an all-encompassing state character and set as its goal the ideological education of children as citizens completely devoted to the communist party and the state. At the same time, it should be noted that, as the movement evolved, the role of the heritage of scouting in it fell (which can be clearly seen in the evolution of the pioneer camp from the type of sports and tourist tent camp to the type of a sanatorium complex). Among particular differences, one can point out the absence of separate organizations for boys and girls. Until 1924, the pioneer organization bore the name of Spartak, and after the death of Lenin received his name.
"Be ready!"
"Always ready!"
Pioneer Oath
I, I.F., joining the ranks of the All-Union Pioneer Organization, in the face of my comrades, solemnly swear: to love my Motherland passionately; to live, study and fight as the great Lenin bequeathed, as the Communist Party teaches; always comply with the laws of the pioneers of the Soviet Union."
"Be ready!"
"Always ready!"
The Laws of Young Pioneers - a set of basic rules for the life and work of a member of the All-Union Pioneer Organization. V. I. Lenin. The goals and tasks of the children's communist organization, the basic principles of communist morality, and the moral and ethical norms of behavior of young pioneers are set out in a figurative and understandable form for children.
For the first time, the Laws of Young Pioneers, developed by the commission of the Central Committee of the RKSM with the participation of N. K. Krupskaya, were approved by the 5th Congress of the RKSM in October 1922. In the Laws of Young Pioneers, it was singled out as one of the main laws - "I will strive always, wherever possible, to obtain knowledge in order to use it for the benefit of the working people."
The changes in the conditions of activity of the pioneer organization that took place during the years of socialist construction, the deepening of the content and the improvement of the forms and methods of its work, were reflected in the new text of the Laws of Young Pioneers, approved in 1957 by the 8th Plenum of the Central Committee of the All-Union Leninist Young Communist League.

Komsomol
Komsomol is an organization that for decades has served as a school of life for many generations Soviet people; an organization that has made a huge contribution to the heroic history of our Motherland; an organization that today and will continue to unite young people who are not indifferent to the fate of the country and the people, in whose hearts the flame of the struggle for justice burns, so that a working man can walk with his head held high on the land forever liberated from exploitation, poverty and lawlessness.
There are no other examples in history of such a powerful youth movement as the Lenin Komsomol was. AT Peaceful time and during the war years, shoulder to shoulder with the communists, Komsomol members were the first to go into battle, into the virgin lands, to construction sites, into space and led the youth. At each historical milestone, the Komsomol brought forth thousands and thousands of young heroes from its ranks, who glorified it with their exploits. Their example of selfless service to the Motherland, the people will always be in the memory of present and future generations.
And it all began in the distant revolutionary year of 1917 with the creation of socialist unions of working, peasant and student youth. But they were all divided. Therefore, already in 1918, on October 29, the First All-Russian Congress of Unions of Workers' and Peasants' Youth began its work, which brought together 195 delegates from all over Russia and united disparate youth organizations into a single monolithic Russian Communist Youth Union. Day October 29 and became the birthday of the Komsomol.
After the congress in all regions or, as they were then called, provinces, general meetings of the unions of workers' and peasants' youth were held.
The chronicle of the heroic deeds of the Komsomol is endless. Six orders burn brightly on his banner. This is a nationwide recognition of the merits of the Komsomol to the Motherland. Everyone knew the Komsomol heroes: Lyubov Shevtsova, Oleg Koshevoy, Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya, Alexander Matrosov, Liza Chaikina... Eternal glory and memory to them!
The Komsomol is an organization that shapes a person, his personal qualities. Here the life views of young people were affirmed, here the first experience of social work was acquired. The Komsomol is the foundation that formed the Soviet man. Of course, there was everything in the Komsomol. It was good, it was not so good. There were bureaucratic moments that irritated young people, but these moments were criticized. However, fundamentally, it was a wonderful social organization. The Komsomol formed the worldview in certain coordinates - the Soviet worldview. Komsomol is youth. Komsomol is the most wonderful memories! The Komsomol is energy, purposefulness, the desire to turn this world around and make it better!
1918-1928
The RKSM was an active participant in the Civil War; he spent three all-Russian mobilization to the front. According to incomplete data, the Komsomol sent more than 75,000 members to the Red Army between 1918 and 20. Total in the fight Soviet people up to 200,000 Komsomol members took part against the interventionists, White Guards and bandits. They fought heroically against the enemies: 19-year-old commander of the 30th division Albert Lapin, future writers Nikolai Ostrovsky and Arkady Gaidar, armored train commander Lyudmila Makiyevskaya, commissars Alexander Kondratiev and Anatoly Popov, leader of the Far Eastern Komsomol Vitaly Banevur and many others. The Komsomol fought selflessly behind enemy lines. In Odessa, the Komsomol underground numbered over 300 people, in Riga - about 200 people, underground Komsomol groups operated in Ekaterinodar (Krasnodar), Simferopol, Rostov-on-Don, Nikolaev, Tbilisi, etc. Many Komsomol members died a heroic death in battles to defend the gains October revolution. In severe trials, the Komsomol got stronger and grew. Despite the huge sacrifices that he made on the fronts, his numbers increased 20 times: in October 1918 - 22,100, in October 1920 - 482,000. In commemoration of military merits on the fronts of the Civil War in the period 1919-20 against the troops of the White Guard generals Kolchak , Denikin, Yudenich, the White Poles and Wrangel, the Komsomol in 1928 was awarded the Order of the Red Banner by a decree of the Presidium of the Central Executive Committee of the USSR.
1929-1941
After the Civil War, the Komsomol was faced with the task of preparing the worker and peasant youth for peaceful, creative activity. In October 1920, the 3rd Congress of the RKSM was held. Lenin's speech at the congress on October 2, 1920, "The Tasks of Youth Unions," was the guide for the activities of the Komsomol. Lenin saw the main goal of the Komsomol in "... helping the party to build communism and helping the entire young generation to create a communist society." Komsomol directed all efforts to restore the destroyed during the war years National economy. Boys and girls participated in the restoration of factories in Petrograd, Moscow, the Urals, mines and factories in the Donbass, and the country's railways. In September 1920, the first All-Russian Youth Subbotnik was held. Komsomol members assisted the Soviet government in the fight against speculation, sabotage, and banditry. In 1929, the Komsomol carried out the first mobilization of youth for the new buildings of the 1st Five-Year Plan. More than 200,000 Komsomol members came to the construction sites with vouchers from their organizations. With the active participation of the Komsomol, the Dneproges, the Moscow and Gorky Automobile Plants, the Stalingrad Tractor Plant, the Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works were built, Railway Turksib and others. By the Decree of the Presidium of the Central Executive Committee of the USSR on January 21, 1931, “for the initiative shown in the cause of shock work and socialist competition, ensuring the successful implementation of the five-year plan for the development of the national economy ...” Komsomol was awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labor.
1941-1945
A severe test for the entire Soviet people, their younger generation the Great Patriotic War of 1941–45 was born. The Komsomol, all Soviet youth, at the call of the Communist Party, came out to fight the Nazi invaders. Already in the first year of the war, about 2 million Komsomol members joined the ranks of the Red Army. Unprecedented courage, bravery, heroism were shown by Komsomol members, young men and women, defending Brest, Liepaja, Odessa, Sevastopol, Smolensk, Moscow, Leningrad, Kyiv, Stalingrad, other cities and regions of the country from the enemy. Only the Komsomol organization of Moscow and the region in the first 5 months of the war sent over 300 thousand people to the front; 90% of the members of the Leningrad organization of the Komsomol fought against the Nazi invaders on the outskirts of the city of Lenin. Fearlessly, young partisans and underground fighters of Belarus, the occupied regions of the RSFSR, Ukraine, and the Baltic states acted behind enemy lines. Partisan detachments consisted of 30-45% Komsomol members. Unparalleled heroism was shown by members of the underground Komsomol organizations—Young Guards (Krasnodon), Partisan Iskra (Nikolaev Oblast), Lyudinovskoye underground Komsomol group, and others. Between 1941 and 1945, about 12 million young men and women joined the VLKSM. Of the 7 thousand Heroes of the Soviet Union under the age of 30, 3.5 thousand are Komsomol members (of which 60 are twice Heroes of the Soviet Union), 3.5 million Komsomol members were awarded orders and medals. The names of members of the Komsomol who fell in the fight against the fascist invaders: Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya, Alexander Chekalin, Lisa Chaikina, Alexander Matrosov, Viktor Talalikhin and many others - have become a symbol of courage, courage, heroism. For outstanding services to the Motherland during the Great Patriotic War and for his great work in educating Soviet youth in the spirit of selfless devotion to the socialist Fatherland of the Komsomol, by the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR on June 14, 1945, he was awarded the Order of Lenin.
1945-1948
The Komsomol has invested a great deal of work in restoring the national economy destroyed by the Nazi invaders, in the construction of Minsk, Smolensk, Stalingrad, in the restoration of Leningrad, Kharkov, Kursk, Voronezh, Sevastopol, Odessa, Rostov-on-Don and many other cities, in the revival of industry and cities of Donbass, Dneproges, collective farms, state farms and MTS. In 1948 alone, the youth built and put into operation 6,200 rural power stations. The Komsomol showed great concern for the placement of children and adolescents left without parents, for the expansion of the network of orphanages and vocational schools, and the construction of schools. In 1948, the Komsomol celebrated its thirtieth anniversary. On October 28, 1948, the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR awarded the Komsomol with the second Order of Lenin.
1948-1956
The Komsomol took an active part in the implementation of the measures developed by the party to raise Agriculture. Thousands of young specialists, workers and employees, graduates of secondary schools were sent to state farms, collective farms, MTS. In 1954–55, more than 350,000 young people left on Komsomol vouchers to develop the virgin lands of Kazakhstan, Altai, and Siberia. Their work was a real feat. By decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR, he was awarded the third Order of Lenin on November 5, 1956 for active participation in communist construction and especially for the development of virgin lands of the Komsomol.
1956-1991
The scale of activity of the Komsomol in solving national economic problems, in particular, in the development of the wealth of Siberia, the Far East and the Far North, in the redistribution of the country's labor resources, has significantly expanded. More than 70,000 All-Union detachments have been formed, and more than 500,000 young people have been sent to new buildings. With the most active participation of young people, about 1,500 important facilities were built and put into operation, including the largest in the world - the Bratsk hydroelectric power station, the Beloyarsk nuclear power plant, the Baikal-Amur Mainline named after Lenin Komsomol, the Druzhba oil pipeline, etc. The Komsomol sponsored 100 shock construction projects, including the development of the unique oil and gas resources of the Tyumen and Tomsk regions. Student construction teams have become a tradition of university Komsomol members. Millions of students took part in labor semesters. At the initiative of the Komsomol, the construction of youth residential complexes became widespread. Youth residential complexes have been built in 156 cities and regions of the country. The Komsomol is the initiator of all-Union campaigns to places of revolutionary, military and labor glory, in which millions of young men and women take part. The children's and youth competitions "Golden Puck", "Leather Ball", "Olympic Spring", "Neptune" and the all-Union military sports game "Zarnitsa" held by the Central Committee of the Komsomol have become truly massive. Komsomol and Soviet youth organizations cooperated with international, regional, national and local youth associations in 129 countries of the world. On July 5, 1956, the Committee of Youth Organizations of the USSR was created; on May 10, 1958, the Bureau of International youth tourism"Satellite". In four years, more than 22 million young people traveled around the country through Sputnik, and 1.7 million people went abroad. In 1968, for the outstanding services and great contribution of Komsomol members to the formation and strengthening of Soviet power, courage and heroism shown in battles with the enemies of the socialist Fatherland, active participation in the construction of socialism, for fruitful work in the political education of the younger generations in connection with the 50th anniversary of the Komsomol, he was awarded Order of the October Revolution.
We have already spoken about the enormous role played by the Komsomol organizations in the countryside and the responsibility that the Party places on them. A strong, close-knit Komsomol organization enjoys great influence among the collective farm youth, and the advanced collective farm youth here join the Komsomol. The more advanced young people the primary Komsomol organization unites in its ranks, the greater will be its influence on the entire course of affairs on the collective farm, the more help it will be able to render to the country and the front.
Often the Komsomol organizations cannot exert a serious influence on collective-farm affairs only because they are few in number. And there are many more such organizations. They usually consist of 35 Komsomol members, while on the collective farm 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 be explained only by the fact that the Komsomol members do not show any initiative, are poorly connected with the youth, and do not involve them in their work.
The youth is now the decisive force in the collective farms, state farms and MTS. Therefore, its involvement in the ranks of the Komsomol, its 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 undertakings, and fascinates them with interesting cultural work. With the best young collective farmers, who have won great respect for their selfless work, the secretaries and members of the committee often talk about the Komsomol, tell them about the heroic past of the youth union, about the military exploits of the Komsomol on the fronts of the Patriotic War. And progressive youth willingly goes to the Komsomol.
In this respect, the experience of the Komsomol organization of the Novy Put collective farm in the Kostroma district of the Yaroslavl region, which was mentioned in the previous chapters of this book, is very indicative. 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 club. Many young collective farmers enrolled in it. The performances captivated them. They came to the club every evening. It has always been interesting and fun here: a play is being rehearsed, a choir circle is rehearsing, dances are started to the sounds 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-Allied youth. Evenings are held here, at which all the youth of the collective farm are present.
Often, after a hard day's work, the Komsomol went in a group to the city to watch a play or a new movie. Many young people usually joined them. In winter, ski training was organized here, then skiing.
Committee secretary Zina Kashitsyna and other activists often talk to young collective farmers about the hysteria of the Komsomol, acquaint them with the charter and program of the Komsomol.
The well-organized mass cultural work brought the Komsomol members closer to the non-Allied youth. Thanks to this work, advanced youth apply for membership in the Komsomol. Thus the organization grew stronger, became great strength on a 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. This depends on the desire of the Komsomol members themselves to enlarge and strengthen their organization, on their initiative and ability to work among the youth.
Who can become a member of the Komsomol?
The Charter of the All-Union Leninist Young Communist League answers this question in the following way: “A progressive, proven, devoted Soviet power youth from the environment of workers, peasants and employees.
The age for joining the Komsomol is set from 14 to 26 years.
Who can be considered an advanced person in the collective farm village? The one 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 wearing high rank members of the Leninist Komsomol, participated in the socialist construction of our country, just as they are now defending the gains of October with weapons in their hands. The materials published in the first two chapters of this book will help the Komsomol member in conducting such conversations.
A person entering the Komsomol must be introduced to the charter and program of the Komsomol, and then help him find recommenders and fill out a questionnaire.
Each person joining the VLKSM submits the recommendations of two members of the Komsomol with a year of experience or one member of the party. The correctness of the information indicated in the questionnaire and the recommendations are checked by the Komsomol committee or the secretary of the organization before discussing the issue of admission. Then the question of admission is considered at a meeting of the committee of the primary organization, and then at a general meeting of Komsomol members. The decision on admission to the Komsomol comes into force after its approval by the bureau of the district committee or city committee of the Komsomol. The Komsomol experience of the applicant is calculated from the date of the decision of the general meeting on his admission to the ranks of the Komsomol.

Sergei Alekseevich Grigoriev was one of the prominent Soviet genre painters. He stood on a par with such outstanding masters of the Soviet household genre like B.V. Ioganson, A.A. Plastov, F.P. Reshetnikov, T.N. Yablonskaya.
The artist gained wide popularity at the turn of the 40s - 50s. A distinctive style of Grigoriev's works is the pictorial accuracy of the reflection of events and scenes. Everyday life. His canvases are restrained in terms of color solutions.
Picture Admission to the Komsomol demonstrates the ability of S. A. Grigoriev to generalize life observations, highlight the essential aspects of events. It is necessary to note the expressive nature of the work. Each character has its own face psychological picture. A red tablecloth, a bust of the "leader of the peoples" (which will disappear in a later edition of the canvas after Stalin's death) in the interior of the painting create a solemn atmosphere. Grigoriev seeks to emphasize the pathos of the current event.
The viewer does not see the face of the young heroine of the picture. Thus, the artist shows a certain generalized image of the advanced Soviet youth: "It is a great honor to be a member of the Lenin Komsomol, it is a great honor to be in the forefront of the fighters for communism. But this is also a great responsibility" (Memo to a member of the Komsomol).
Picture Admission to the Komsomol became an exemplary work of socialist realism. The canvas became widely known thanks to reproductions in school textbooks and on postage stamps.
In 1950, Sergei Alekseevich Grigoriev was awarded the title of laureate of the Stalin Prize of the second degree for paintings Admission to the Komsomol and
The Komsomol organization, which celebrates its 90th anniversary on October 29, ended its existence almost 20 years ago, but its anniversary is celebrated on a grand scale throughout the country.

OF THE ALL-UNION LENIN COMMUNIST YOUTH UNION
The All-Union Leninist Communist Youth Union is an amateur public organization that unites in its ranks the broad masses of progressive Soviet youth.
Komsomol is an active assistant and reserve of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, which is the leading and guiding force of Soviet society, the core of its political system, state and public organizations.
The Komsomol sees the whole meaning of its activity in the implementation of the decisions of the Party and the Soviet government, the implementation of the great Program for building a communist society in the USSR. Faithful to Lenin's precepts, the Komsomol helps the party educate the youth in the spirit of communism, strict observance of the Constitution of the USSR and Soviet laws, involve them in the practical construction of a new society, prepare a generation of comprehensively developed people who will live, work and manage public affairs under communism. The greatest honor for a Komsomol member is to become a member of the CPSU.
The VLKSM works under the leadership of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and is an active conductor of the party's policy in all areas of communist construction. The strength of the Komsomol lies in the leadership of the CPSU, in ideological conviction and devotion to the cause of the Party, in the conscious discipline and unity of its ranks. The Komsomol learns from the Party the Leninist way of living, working, fighting and winning.
The main task of the All-Union Leninist Communist Youth Union is to educate young men and women on the great ideas of Marxism-Leninism, on the heroic traditions of the revolutionary struggle, on the examples of the selfless labor of workers, collective farmers, and the intelligentsia, to develop and strengthen in the younger generation a class approach to all phenomena of social life, to prepare persistent, highly educated, labor-loving young builders of communism.
The sacred duty of the Komsomol is to prepare the youth for the defense of the socialist homeland, to educate self-sacrificing patriots who are capable of giving a decisive rebuff to the attack of any enemy.
The Komsomol instills in young men and women a deep respect for the State Emblem, Flag, Anthem of the USSR, personifying the heroic history, power and greatness of the socialist Fatherland.
The All-Union Leninist Young Communist League is striving to ensure that every member of the Komsomol, every young person in his entire life faithfully fulfills the Leninist testament "Learn communism" and observes the moral principles set forth in the Program of the CPSU - in the moral code of the builder of communism:
Devotion to the cause of communism, love for the socialist motherland, for the countries of socialism;
Conscientious work for the benefit of society: who does not work, he does not eat;
Everyone's concern for the preservation and multiplication of the public domain;
High consciousness of public duty, intolerance to violations of public interests;
Collectivism and comradely mutual assistance: each for all, all for one;
Humane relations and mutual respect between people: man to man is a friend, comrade and brother;
Honesty and truthfulness, moral purity, simplicity and modesty in public and private life;
Mutual respect in the family, concern for the upbringing of children;
Irreconcilability to injustice, parasitism, dishonesty, careerism, money-grubbing;
Friendship and brotherhood of all peoples of the USSR, intolerance towards national and racial hostility;
Intransigence towards the enemies of communism, the cause of peace and the freedom of peoples;
Fraternal solidarity with the working people of all countries, with all peoples.
The further enhancement of the role of the Komsomol in the conditions of a developed socialist society depends on the activity and militancy of all Komsomol organizations, the deepening of content, and the improvement of the style and methods of their work.
Komsomol organizations are steadily implementing V.I. Lenin that "The Union of Communist Youth should be a shock group that provides its assistance in every work, shows its initiative, its initiative," strive for every member of the Komsomol to be an example for young people in work, study, and military service.
