A national
children and youth organization to assist in the socialization of children and
adolescents is to appear in Russia.
President
Putin has signed the decree to create the organization called "The Russian
Movement of School-Children", the purpose of which is to improve the state
policy in the field of education of young people, as well as form citizen
personality on the basis of Russian values . The founder of the organization
on behalf of the Russian Federation is the Federal Agency for Affairs of the
Youth.
The
movement will be coordinated with the executive branch and local government
agencies with the mediation of the Russian Youth Center at the Federal Agency
for Affairs of the Youth.
Noteworthy,
on the 97th anniversary of the Komsomol party, Communists of Russia announced
the revival of the youth organization with the historic name of the Russian
Leninist Young Communist League, known for the Russian initials as VLKSM.
According to party leader Maxim Suraikin, this name carries great positive
energy.
The
congress to bring the now-defunct organization back to life was held on October
29 in Moscow. Activists from more than 40 regions of Russia, as well as
representatives of friendly organizations from the self-proclaimed People's
Republics of Donetsk and Luhansk, from Hungary, Sri Lanka and South Africa took
part in the meeting.
The
congress adopted the resolution, the most important objective of which is
"to struggle against imperialism" and support the anti-fascist
movement of the people of the Donbass and the Syrian government.
Maxim
Suraikin, who asked to be addressed to as "Comrade Maxim", told
Pravda.Ru why Communists of Russia decided to revive the Komsomol.
"We
believe that this is a historical name that carries huge positive energy.
During Soviet years, Komsomol was like school of life for millions of
Soviet people. In general, Komsomol, or the Young Communist League, played a
crucial role in the fate of the country ever since the Civil War, when young
communists were fighting for freedom and independence of the Soviet state.
During the Great Patriotic War, Komsomol members were dying for freedom and
independence of our country, for freedom from fascism around the world. Think
about all those grand Komsomol construction projects - all of that still lives
in people's memory," Comrade Maxim told Pravda.Ru.
"Our
people understand that they need to restore this organization to make it a
full-fledged and massively popular movement that in turn will help them with
their problems, social issues, issues of professional growth, employment issues
and all other problems that young people face today," said Maxim
Suraikin.
"Young
people must know their country's history, they need to learn to love their
country. We can see what has been happening in Ukraine, when young people learn
the new history of their country that American historians wrote for them. As a
result, fascism is rising in Ukraine, the state is collapsing. All this,
including the tragedy in the south-east of Ukraine, is happening because there
is no organization in Ukraine that deals with the patriotic education of young
people."
