metadata.value: In the 1960s the state funding of the Komsomol ended, and the formation of the budget of the Central
  Committee of the Komsomol and regional committees became an issue of great interest. This issue can be better
  explored by complex financial documents of the Komsomol committees, which are introduced into circulation
  here for the first time. They show that the main source of income was membership fees, which explains the intensification
  of work to attract young people to the Komsomol and strict control over the timely payment of membership
  fees. The second means of replenishing the budget were funds raised by collecting scrap metal and waste
  paper, holding amateur concerts, and similar projects. However, this did not provide enough funding, and so the
  Komsomol Central Committee introduced austerity measures and began additional fundraising through various
  lotteries, selling literature, holding subbotniks and voskresniks, and the like. An analysis of archival documents
  shows that countryside committees found themselves in a more difficult situation than those in cities, which had
  more opportunities to earn money; and rural committees’ expenses were much higher. This explains the absence
  of “houses of culture” and stadiums in villages, which were built mainly by the Komsomol. The party leadership
  stopped subsidizing the Komsomol, but still actively used young people to solve important economic problems
  (e. g. construction of large facilities in urban and rural settings, maintaining student construction teams, etc.), the
  implementation of which also fell on the Komsomol budget. Thus, financial documents allows us not only to trace
  the formation of revenues and expenditures, but also the working conditions of Komsomol organizations in cities
  and the countryside.
