Tirado provides a fascinating and valuable account of the
beginnings of an organized youth movement in revolutionary Russia
and the founding of the Komsomol. Forming organizations to protect
and advance group interests was one of the most striking features
of the Russian Revolution of 1917; youth did not lag behind. . . .
[This volume] is a valuable contribution to the history of the
Russian Revolution and early Soviet state. Russian Review This book
examines in detail the formation of the Communist Youth League or
Komsomol since its inception in 1917 and presents a social and
institutional history of the organization and its impact on the
first decade of Soviet power. By concentrating on Petrograd up to
1920 and by using a broad range of sources, this unusual study
provides a clearer perspective on the mass efforts of Soviet youth
during the early consolidation of the revolution. It describes the
origins of the Komsomol, its institutionalization in 1918, its
development during the Civil War, its economic and educational
activities, and its relationship to the Communist Party.
