Sorry about the initial quality of this page. It was my first article, and I'd not got my wikipedia writing skills honed. In my opinion there are still big problems with this article, from my original text. Other authors have removed much of the mess, but I still think this needs much more work, and I would be cautious about using this information in its present form. My only hope is that creating this stub was a catalyst for the subsequent changes. In particular, the section on the end of Komsomol, whilst I still believe reflects the vast majority of opinion of causes of its demise needs to be objectified or explicitly subjectified and cited.

[edit] Article needs much work
Particularly a huge role of Komsomol in labour activities should be presented in much more details. Photo of a member from the public domain should be present.
Transcription of Russian names is a general problem in Wiki. I looked it up in Britannica and other sources and found, that "ий" is usually transcribed as "y", not as "i", and "ё" should be "yo", not "io". Cmapm 13:53, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
- -ий should be transcribed as -iy because it's actually two sounds both written and pronounced. Tradition to transliterate it as "-y" came from spelling of Polish surnames, where it is actually one sound.--Nixer 18:03, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Current Komsomol
There is a currently existing Komsomol that is affiliated with the Communist Party of the Russian Federation. I would add info on it to this article, but I don't know much about it (beyond the fact that it is more radical than the parent party). --metzerly 03:54, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
- There are several Komsomols in Russia today. The one currently tied to KPRF is SKMRF. --Soman 11:25, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Is this image of the KOMSOMOL?

[edit] Komsomol
←I feel the komsomol should not be scrapped as Mikhail Gorbachev did.It could only be helped by resuscitating it and using it to build a stronger communist party.62.173.37.29 11:19, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Bolsheviks and youth in 1917
The article incorrectly states that during 1917 the "Bolsheviks showed no interest in establishing or maintaining a youth wing." As Isabel Tirado demonstrates in "Young Guard!" (Greenwood, 1988), individual Bolsheviks played key roles in the establishment of youth organizations during the revolution. In Petrograd the Bolshevik I. D. Churgurin, the Vybord district leader, encouraged the organization of an independent youth organization (Trud i Svet) which demonstrated on May Day with 100,000 young workers. Also Krupskaia herself took an interest in this movement and agitated for the youth of Trud i Svet to reject its moderate leadership, and called upon the Bolshevik party to intervene in the organization. More importantly, the young Bolshevik Vasilii Alekseev succeeded in splitting the Trud i Svet group, creating the Socialist League of Young Workers (SSRM), which adopted Bolshevik positions and was later the most significant founding organization of the Komsomol.
I think that inclusion of some brief discussion of the youth organizations during the revolutionary period would do a lot to elucidate the origins of the Komsomol.
