The Komsomol was associated with youth, student hikes with gatherings around the fire, construction projects of the Baikal-Amur Mainline, Magnitka and Turksib, and the development of virgin lands. Over the years of the movement's existence, Komsomol members have contributed to the heroic chronicle of the history of the USSR. Young people performed feats of labor every day in peacetime, participating in the construction of the Moscow metro, factories, gas pipelines and railways throughout the Soviet Union.
