The article is devoted to the 50th anniversary of the Institute of sociology of RAS and 100th anniversary of Komsomol. It examines the events associated with the revival of sociology in the 60s-80s, in which the Komsomol played a significant role. It assists to better understanding the conditions in which the process of the revival of sociological science in Russia took place. The article shows how the enthusiasm of soviet scientists contributed to this process, and how public sociological centers and scientific units were created on its basis. The Institute of sociology of the USSR Academy of Sciences was one of them. Article also describes how the staff of sociologists was formed in the absence of sociological education in the country, and how ideological doctrines were transformed into the study of real social problems.
