metadata.value: The introduction of new civil ceremonies began in the 1920s, when the “red wedding” (“Kyzyl Tuy”) was
  first mentioned. However, the weakness of Komsomol organizations, the strength of tradition, and the priority of
  agricultural tasks did not allow such work to continue until the 1960s, when a new phase in the active construction of youth holidays commenced. Official public holidays were controlled by party bodies and were held in accordance
  with strict regulations, and producing holidays was organized by state bodies and the Komsomol. The
  Komsomol wedding, as a rule, was conducted by the Komsomol committees and was not strictly regulated. The
  Komsomol wedding in this period went beyond the limits of family celebration only; it became part of mass educational
  work for the introduction of new traditions and the involvement of the general public. The tradition of mass
  Komsomol weddings almost stopped in the 1970s. Holding a wedding largely depended on the region and place
  of residence of the young. More often they occurred in cities, where a significant increase in students was occurring
  in this period. Such weddings occurred less often in rural areas, where national traditions, including religious
  ones, were preserved. The experience of introducing a Komsomol wedding in the 1960s clearly demonstrates
  that young people were increasingly included in the system of state administration; however, party leadership was
  still seeking optimal forms and methods of working with youth.
