metadata.value: This article, using extensive archival material, examines the history of the emergence of youth cafés,
  provides an analysis of the preconditions and historical conditions in which they were created, and highlights the
  problems that they had to overcome on their way. During the 1960s youth cafés was created throughout the country
  on the initiative of Komsomol members. There were places where one could have an interesting and fun time
  listening to jazz over a cup of coffee or a glass of wine, dancing a popular twist, meeting poets and musicians and
  artists, or just going an impromptu stage to read poems. The youth café became a symbol of the 1960s. The feeling
  of freedom was first felt by young people who began to actively explore Western culture and lifestyle. Harsh administrative measures and punishments proved to be ineffective. This is how the idea of creating the first youth
  club, corresponding to the interests and demands of young people, arose, but under the supervision of an “elder
  brother” in the form of the Komsomol. Urban young boys and girls were attracted by the democratic atmosphere
  of the café, which the sixtiers would later write about more than once. In the mid-1960s this interesting experience
  was relocated to the countryside, but this was less successful. Even in large cities, not many cafés survived until
  the mid-1970s, faced with enough problems.
