“…However, this year was the peak for the Poteshnye and even before the outbreak of the First World War, the organization, as such, completely disappeared, giving way to Scouts. Matthias Neumann (2011) connects this with the fact that the Poteshnye from the very beginning were an integral part of a "temporary nationalistic mobilization" and were not a "genuine youth's movement" (p. 25).…”

At the beginning of the 20 th century youth organizations such as the Sokoly, the Poteshnye, and Scouts sprang up and spread rapidly throughout the Russian Empire. The state looked favorable upon these social undertakings, hoping to solve a number of its own problems with the help of these movements, the main of which were physical fitness of future soldiers and ideological opposition to revolutionary ideas that were gaining popularity. As an alternative to socialist and democratic ideas, these youth organizations offered conservative values, such as loyalty to God and the monarch, the country and their people. The three organizations presented in the article differed in their goals and methods of work. The Socoly (falcons) was, first of all, a gymnastics association while Scoutinga method of education through a spy-game and outdoor life. The Poteshnye promoted pre-military training for future military service, primarily through marching. These movements were similar in their ideology, which makes it possible to analyze it in the framework of one article. The work also examines the contacts of these youth movements with the authorities and right parties. It is noted that government support was not a decisive factor for their success in society.

The article discusses the complex interaction between national mobilization during World War I and children. The focus is on children and teenagers living in Kyiv, a border region of the Russian Empire, who were amongst the first children to be affected by the war. The purpose of the study is to examine the ways in which children and adolescents were integrated into the military culture in the city during the general mobilization period and the very nature of their direct participation in this war. The materials of contemporary pedagogical research will be used to reconstruct children's experiences during that time as well as their emotional response to military culture in the first two years of the war.

“…Perhaps the party leadership worried that a larger Communist cadre could reinforce the propensity for the rural Komsomol to act as a junior party. 65 Their disappointment was the product of the Komsomol's dual role as the vanguardtrainer of future Communists and as a mass organization.…”

The Komsomol's Village Vanguard: Youth and Politics in the NEP Countryside

A mixture of youth vanguardism and class politics shaped the particular identity of the rural Komsomol during NEP. Rural komsomols repudiated village traditions and “backwardness” and embraced instead a purposeful life dedicated to service to the Party and to the countryside's economic, cultural, and social progress. They committed to self‐improvement in order to become forward‐looking Soviet peasants, bearers of socialist modernity. The activism and dedication of rural activists allowed the Komsomol to become one of the most important Communist organizations in the first decade of Soviet power. Yet within a few years, these inroads in rural areas would be undermined by the anti‐rural sentiments that swept the urban‐dominated Communist organizations, the Komsomol included. Based on archival research, the article looks at NEP politics and documents the evolving relationship between rural youth activists and the Komsomol organization, and between the Komsomol and the Party and the state.
