What did the pioneers do in the USSR, how were they accepted into the Komsomol and who were the Octoberists? Leninist Komsomol: the birth of the Komsomol in the USSR Admission to the Komsomol.
After the victory October revolution Red children's organizations, groups and associations arose in various cities. On May 19, 1922, the 2nd All-Russian Komsomol Conference decided to create pioneer detachments everywhere.
In the first years of Soviet power, pioneers helped street children and fought against illiteracy, collected books and set up libraries, studied in technical circles, cared for animals, went on geological hikes, nature study expeditions, 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 them.
"AiF" recalls how in Soviet time Octoberists, pioneers and those who could become Komsomol members were accepted.
From what class were you accepted into October?
Schoolchildren in grades 1–3 became Octobrists, united on a voluntary basis into groups under the school’s pioneer squad. The groups were led by counselors from among the school's pioneers or Komsomol members. In these groups, children prepared to join the All-Union Pioneer Organization named after V.I. Lenin.
Upon 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 “Octobers.” The Octobrists were united into stars (analogous to the pioneer unit) - October 5 and also the “sickle” and “hammer” - the leader of the star and his assistant. In an asterisk, an October child could occupy 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 were accepted as pioneers?
The pioneer organization accepted schoolchildren aged 9 to 14 years. Formally, admission was carried out on a voluntary basis. The selection of candidates was made by open voting at a meeting of the pioneer detachment (usually corresponding to the class) or at the highest - at the school level - pioneer body: the Council of the squad.
A student joining a pioneer organization gave a solemn promise of a pioneer of the Soviet Union at the pioneer assembly (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 presented the newcomer with 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 unbreakable connection of three generations: communists, Komsomol members and pioneers; the pioneer was obliged to take care of his tie and protect it.
The pioneers' greeting was a salute - a hand raised just above the head demonstrated that the pioneer put public interests above personal ones. "Be ready!" - the leader called on the pioneers and heard in response: “Always ready!”
As a rule, pioneers were accepted into a solemn atmosphere during communist holidays in memorable historical and revolutionary places, for example on April 22 near the monument to V.I. Lenin.
Punishments were applied to members of the organization who violated the Laws of the Pioneers of the Soviet Union: discussion at a meeting of the unit, detachment, or squad council; comment; exception warning; as a last resort - exclusion 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 elementary school students, participating in military sports “Zarnitsa”, classes in clubs and, of course, excellent studies - this is what the pioneer’s everyday life was filled with.
How did you become a Komsomol member?
They became Komsomol members at the age of 14. The reception was carried out individually. To apply, you needed a recommendation from a communist or two Komsomol members with at least 10 months of experience. After this, the application could be accepted for consideration by the school Komsomol organization, or it could not be accepted if the submitter was not considered a worthy figure.
Those whose application was accepted were scheduled for an interview with the Komsomol committee (council of Komsomol members) and a representative of the district committee. To pass the interview, you had to memorize the Komsomol charter, the names of the key leaders of the Komsomol and the party, important dates and the main thing is 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 given a Komsomol card, which documented the payment of dues. Schoolchildren and students paid 2 kopecks. per month, working - one percent of salary.
They could be expelled from the Komsomol for sloppiness, going to church, for non-payment of membership dues, or for family troubles. Expulsion from the organization threatened the lack of good prospects and career in the future. Former Komsomol member did not have the right to join the party, go abroad, and in some cases he was threatened with dismissal from his job.
The Komsomol organization, celebrating 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.
The All-Union Leninist Communist Youth Union (VLKSM) is a youth socio-political organization created at the 1st All-Russian Congress of Unions of Workers' and Peasants' Youth on October 29 - November 4, 1918.
The congress united disparate youth unions into all-Russian organization with a single center, working under the leadership of the Russian Communist Party. At the congress, the basic principles of the program and the charter of the Russian Communist Youth Union (RCYU) were adopted. The theses approved by the congress stated: “The Union sets itself the goal of spreading the ideas of communism and involving worker and peasant youth in the active construction of Soviet Russia.”
In July 1924, RKSM was named after V.I. Lenin and it became known as the Russian Leninist Communist Youth Union (RLKSM). In connection with the formation of the USSR (1922), the Komsomol in March 1926 was renamed the All-Union Leninist Communist Youth Union (VLKSM).
From the Komsomol Charter: “The Komsomol is an amateur public organization that unites in its ranks the broad masses of advanced Soviet youth. Komsomol is an active assistant and reserve of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. True to Lenin’s precepts, the Komsomol helps the party educate youth in the spirit of communism, involve them in the practical construction of a new society, and prepare the generation comprehensively developed people who will live, work and manage public affairs under communism. The Komsomol works under the leadership of the Communist Party and is an active implementer of party directives in all areas of communist construction.”
According to the Komsomol Charter, boys and girls aged 14 to 28 were accepted into the Komsomol. Primary organizations of the Komsomol were created at enterprises, collective farms, state farms, educational institutions, institutions, units Soviet army and the fleet. The highest governing body of the Komsomol is the All-Union Congress; All work of the Union between congresses was led by the Central Committee of the Komsomol, which elects the Bureau and Secretariat.
The history of the Komsomol was inextricably linked with the history of the USSR. Komsomol members were active participants in the Civil War of 1918-1920 in the ranks of the Red Army. In commemoration of military merits, the Komsomol was awarded the Order of the Red Banner in 1928.
For his initiative in socialist competition, the Komsomol was awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labor in 1931.
For outstanding services to the Motherland at the front and in the rear during the Great Patriotic War 3.5 thousand Komsomol members were awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union, 3.5 million Komsomol members were awarded orders and medals; The Komsomol was awarded the Order of Lenin in 1945.
For the work that the Komsomol put into restoring what was destroyed by the Nazi invaders National economy, Komsomol in 1948 was awarded the second Order of Lenin.
For his active participation in the development of virgin and fallow lands, the Komsomol was awarded the third Order of Lenin in 1956.
In 1968, in connection with the 50th anniversary of the Lenin Komsomol, the Komsomol was awarded the Order of the October Revolution.
Over the entire history of the Komsomol, more than 200 million people passed through its ranks.
In September 1991, the XXII Extraordinary Congress of the Komsomol considered the political role of the Komsomol as a federation of communist youth unions to be exhausted and announced the self-dissolution of the organization.

Pioneers
In the fall of 1918, a children's organization of young communists (YuKov) was created, but a year later it was dissolved. 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, and the name of the new organization was adopted - the Spartak Young Pioneer Units. 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, more simply, Pioneer Day, was officially celebrated on May 19. It was on this day in 1922 that the 2nd all-Russian conference The Komsomol decided to create pioneer units everywhere. The social hierarchy: October - 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 and 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 extremely 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 children's leisure. And there will always be people who remember their young pioneer years with pleasure.
Which of the Soviet pioneers does not remember the excitement with which they were preparing to join the ranks of a mass socio-political organization? How were scarlet ties tied to the sounds of bugles and drums? How, for the first time in our lives, did we solemnly swear allegiance to the cause of Lenin and the Communist Party? The Soviet country spared nothing for the young. Beautiful Pioneer Palaces and children's camps were built. The very activity of children's communist organizations in the USSR and other socialist countries was on such a serious scale that it even surpassed in significance its “bourgeois” prototype and analogue - scout movement. Pioneer movement differed from it in significant aspects: the system was of an all-encompassing state nature and aimed at the ideological education of children as citizens completely devoted to the Communist Party and the state. It should be noted that, as the movement evolved, the role of the scouting heritage in it decreased (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 sanatorium complex). Among the particular differences is the absence of separate organizations for boys and girls. Before 1924 pioneer organization bore the name of Spartacus, and after the death of Lenin it 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 passionately love my Motherland; live, study and fight as the great Lenin bequeathed, as the Communist Party teaches; Always follow the laws of the pioneers of the Soviet Union."
"Be ready!"
"Always ready!"
The laws of young pioneers are a set of basic rules for the life and activities of a member of the All-Union Pioneer Organization named after. V.I. Lenin. The goals and objectives of the children's communist organization, the basic principles of communist morality, and moral and ethical standards of behavior for young pioneers are set out in a form that is imaginative and understandable to 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 highlighted as one of the main laws - “I will always strive, wherever possible, to obtain knowledge in order to use it for the benefit of the working people.”
The changes that occurred during the years of socialist construction in the conditions of activity of the pioneer organization, the deepening of the content and 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 Komsomol Central Committee.

Komsomol
Komsomol is an organization that for decades served as a school of life for many generations of Soviet people; an organization that has made a huge contribution to the heroic history of our Motherland; an organization that today and in the future will unite young people who are not indifferent to the fate of the country and people, in whose hearts the flame of the struggle for justice burns, so that a working person can walk with his head held high across the land, forever freed from exploitation, poverty and lawlessness.
There are no other examples in history of such a powerful youth movement as the Lenin Komsomol. IN Peaceful time and during the wars, shoulder to shoulder with the communists, Komsomol members were the first to go into battle, to virgin lands, to construction sites, into space and led the youth. At every historical milestone, the Komsomol promoted from its midst thousands and thousands of young heroes who glorified it with their exploits. Their example of selfless service to the Motherland and people will always be in the memory of current and future generations.
It all started back in the distant revolutionary year of 1917 with the creation of socialist unions of workers, peasants and student youth. But they were all separated. Therefore, already in 1918, on October 29, the First All-Russian Congress of Workers' and Peasants' Youth Unions began its work, gathering 195 delegates from all over Russia and uniting disparate youth organizations into a single monolithic Russian Communist Youth Union. October 29 became the birthday of the Komsomol.
After the congress, general meetings of unions of worker and peasant youth were held in all regions or, as they were called then, provinces.
The chronicle of the heroic deeds of the Komsomol is endless. Six orders burn brightly on his banner. This is national recognition of the Komsomol’s services to the Motherland. Everyone knew the Komsomol heroes: Lyubov Shevtsova, Oleg Koshevoy, Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya, Alexander Matrosov, Liza Chaikina... Eternal glory and memory to them!
Komsomol is an organization that shapes a person, his personal qualities. Here the life views of young people were affirmed, and the first experience of social work was acquired here. Komsomol is the foundation that formed the Soviet man. Of course, there was everything in the Komsomol. It was good, and it was not so good. There were bureaucratic moments that irritated young people, but these moments were criticized. However, at its core, it was a wonderful public organization. The Komsomol formed a worldview in certain coordinates - the Soviet worldview. Komsomol is youth. Komsomol - these are the most wonderful memories! Komsomol is energy, determination, the desire to turn this world upside down and make it better!
1918-1928
RKSM was an active participant in the Civil War; he carried out three all-Russian mobilizations to the front. According to incomplete data, the Komsomol sent over 75 thousand of its members to the Red Army in 1918–20. In total, up to 200 thousand Komsomol members took part in the struggle of the Soviet people against the interventionists, White Guards and bandits. Heroically fought the enemies: 19-year-old commander of the 30th division Albert Lapin, future writers Nikolai Ostrovsky and Arkady Gaidar, armored train commander Lyudmila Makievskaya, commissars Alexander Kondratyev and Anatoly Popov, leader of the Far Eastern Komsomol Vitaly Banevur and many others. Komsomol members 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 brave deaths in battles to defend their gains October revolution. In severe trials, the Komsomol grew stronger and stronger. Despite the enormous sacrifices 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, Belopoles and Wrangel, the Komsomol in 1928 was awarded the Order of the Red Banner by a resolution 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 worker and peasant youth for peaceful, creative activities. In October 1920, the 3rd Congress of the RKSM took place. The leadership for the activities of the Komsomol was Lenin’s speech at the congress on October 2, 1920, “Tasks of youth unions.” Lenin saw the main goal of the Komsomol as “... to help the party build communism and to help the entire young generation create a communist society.” The Komsomol directed all efforts to restore the national economy destroyed during the war. Boys and girls took part in the restoration of factories in Petrograd, Moscow, the Urals, mines and factories in 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 profiteering, sabotage, and banditry. In 1929, the Komsomol carried out the first mobilization of youth for new buildings of the 1st Five-Year Plan. Over 200 thousand Komsomol members came to construction sites with vouchers from their organizations. With the active participation of the Komsomol, the Dnieper Hydroelectric Power Plant, the Moscow and Gorky Automobile Plants, the Stalingrad Tractor Plant, the Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works, the Turksib Railway, etc. were built. By resolution of the Presidium of the Central Executive Committee of the USSR on January 21, 1931 “for the initiative shown in the matter of shock work and socialist competition, ensuring the successful implementation of the five-year plan development of the national economy...” The Komsomol was awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labor.

The Komsomol and 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. Komsomol members, boys and girls showed unprecedented courage, bravery, and heroism, defending Brest, Liepaja, Odessa, Sevastopol, Smolensk, Moscow, Leningrad, Kiev, Stalingrad, and other cities and regions of the country from the enemy. The Komsomol organization of Moscow and the region alone sent over 300 thousand people to the front in the first 5 months of the war; 90% of the members of the Leningrad Komsomol organization fought against the Nazi invaders on the outskirts of the city of Lenin. Young partisans and underground fighters from Belarus, the occupied regions of the RSFSR, Ukraine, and the Baltic states acted fearlessly behind enemy lines. The partisan detachments consisted of 30-45% Komsomol members. Unparalleled heroism was shown by members of underground Komsomol organizations - the “Young Guard” (Krasnodon), “Partisan Spark” (Nikolaev region), the Lyudinovskaya underground Komsomol group, etc. In 1941-45, about 12 million young men and women joined the Komsomol. 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 Komsomol members who fell in the fight against the fascist invaders: Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya, Alexander Chekalin, Lisa Chaikina, Alexander Matrosov, Viktor Talalikhin and many others - became a symbol of courage, courage, and 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, the Komsomol was awarded the Order of Lenin by Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR on June 14, 1945.

At enterprises, collective farms, state farms, institutions, universities, schools and Red Army units, Komsomol members unite into primary Komsomol organizations.
The Komsomol is built on the principle of democratic centralism. Democracy in the Komsomol means that all governing bodies of the Komsomol, from the secretary or committee of the primary organization to the Central Committee of the Komsomol, are elected by the Komsomol members themselves or by delegates elected by them. Governing bodies are obliged to systematically report to the Komsomol members who elected them. Each Komsomol member takes an active part in the work of his organization and has the right to criticize the work of his organization and its leaders at meetings.

The Komsomol invested enormous 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. 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 for the construction of schools.
In the 40-50s. The Komsomol helped to build large hydraulic structures (Volga-Don Canal), powerful hydroelectric power stations (Volzhskaya named after Lenin, Kuibyshevskaya, Kakhovskaya, etc.).
The Komsomol took an active part in the implementation of measures developed by the party to boost agriculture. Thousands of young specialists, workers and employees, and high school graduates were sent to state farms, collective farms, and MTS.
The Komsomol annually organizes shows on the exploration and use of production reserves: competitions for innovators and inventors; exhibitions of young innovators; competitions for young workers by profession for the title of best turner, best milling machine operator, best plowman, etc. The Komsomol began a mass movement for mastering the latest achievements of science and technology.
Student construction teams have become a tradition for Komsomol members of universities.
Tens of millions of boys and girls are involved in sports clubs and sections. On the initiative of the Komsomol, creative seminars are held for young writers, poets, playwrights, exhibitions of young artists, and screenings of youth films are organized. Young talents are awarded annual Lenin Komsomol prizes: for best achievements in the field of literature and art (established in March 1966), science and technology (established in June 1967), for active participation in scientific and technological progress (established in May 1970).
The Komsomol is an active propagandist of the ideas of Marxism-Leninism, revolutionary, combat, labor traditions of the Communist Party, the Soviet people, and does a lot of work to educate young people using the example of the life and work of V. I. Lenin and his associates. “Lenin's Lessons”, which combine the study of Lenin's theoretical heritage with the application of acquired knowledge in practice, have become widespread.
In 1971, the Komsomol had 226 youth, pioneer, children's newspapers and magazines in 22 languages of the peoples of the USSR. The Komsomol is the initiator of all-Union campaigns to places of revolutionary, military and labor glory, in which millions of boys and girls participate. In 1969-70, the Komsomol held an All-Union review of sports and defense-mass work and an exam on the physical and military-technical training of youth.
The Komsomol participates in the management of the affairs of the Soviet state. Its representatives work in state and trade union bodies, in bodies of people's control, culture and sports. In 1970, 281 deputies under the age of 30 were elected to the Supreme Soviet of the USSR; 10% of all deputies of the Supreme Soviets of the union and autonomous republics were young people. The Komsomol shows great concern for the training and retraining of Komsomol personnel.
Reasons for the collapse of the Komsomol organization.
The following reasons made the further existence of the Komsomol impossible. First, new realities have emerged 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 transformations of the Komsomol can correspond to new conditions. Second - in accordance with the law Russian Federation The activities of Komsomol organizations in the Armed Forces, border and internal troops were stopped. Third - the number of Komsomol has fallen sharply, there are “many dead souls” in it. Fourth, a deep process of reform is underway in the regions and republics. This led to the conclusion: to consider the political role of the Komsomol as a federation of communist youth unions exhausted.
