MEETING IN KOMSOMOL REALITY OF THE 1960S
Having analyzed documents of The All-Union Leninist Young Communist League Central Committee the author identifies a wide gap between requirements of the Central Committee, which considered the Komsomol meeting first of all as a means to develop intra-union democracy, and the reality of the 1960s. The paper shows that at the local level low attendance, passivity and indifference of Komsomol members were common phenomena. The researcher tries to discover the basic motives of such attitude of Komsomol members to the supreme body of the primary organization.
