Annotation

The article covers the process of formation and development of youth organizations of all social categories of the Astrakhan province in the revolutionary and post-revolutionary period. The February Revolution of 1917 stimulated the development of the youth movement in the country, in which school and student youth played the most active role. In the Astrakhan province it was represented, in particular, by the Council of Astrakhan Student Youth. The First Congress of Unions of Workers' and Peasants' Youth in 1918 (October 28 – November 4) played a fundamentally important role in the consolidation of the youth movement in Soviet Russia. The Soviet government and the Communist Party were interested in convening the congress and creating a Soviet All-Russian youth organization. The formation and further development of the Astrakhan Komsomol Organization in the 1920s shows the role of responsible secretaries in the creation and strengthening of the Komsomol. The purpose of the article is to study the leadership of the Astrakhan provincial committee of the RKSM. The number of executive secretaries and the duration of work in this position have been identified. In conclusion, the author notes that one of the key factors in the work of the provincial Komsomol committee in Astrakhan was the short period of activity as executive secretary.
