«Remove the play «Poverty Is No Vice» from the Announcement»: Comprehensive material and cultural development of youth at the Imandra station based on RCUY meeting protocols (April-May 1920)

The prepared publication of meeting minutes from the general meeting and bureau of the primary cell of the Komsomol organization at the Imandra railway station in spring 1920, after the end of the Civil War under the guidance of the Russian Communist Union of Youth (RCYU), presents previously unknown sources for research into the process of material and cultural development of the young generation, as well as for reconstruction of mechanisms of ideological processing and enlightenment activities of the Bolsheviks on the outskirts of Soviet Russia, particularly in the territory of the Kola Peninsula at the foot of the Khibiny Mountain range. This region at that time was characterized by low population density and a fairly weak level of development both economically and in socio-cultural spheres. Through analysis of these sources, it is possible to identify the specifics of modernization processes on the Kola Peninsula in the field of ideology and the role of youth in this modernization. The published protocols are stored in collection P467 of the State Archives of the Murmansk Region.
