The document discusses two major youth organizations in Soviet Russia - the Komsomol and Pioneers. The Komsomol was formed in 1918 and aimed to engage youth in activities to rebuild post-war Russia. Under Stalin, the Komsomol became an arm of the Soviet state used to indoctrinate youth with Communist ideology, create a labor force, and extend Stalin's control and surveillance through its members. The Komsomol was a key tool for Stalin to consolidate his power and implement policies of rapid industrialization.
