Metshin also congratulated the former activists of the Leninist Komsomol of the Russian Federation on the 100th anniversary of the union.

The head of the city noted that the Komsomol members were enthusiastically engaged in public work, went on subbotniks, duty on the city, worked on thousands of All-Union construction projects, created advanced production, built new cities. “There is no longer a country where the Komsomol existed. But the people brought up by it, retained their high ideals, the ability to work in a team and put common interests above their personal ones. I know that there are many such people in the hall. The Komsomol raised a lot of personalities capable of solving tasks that the country trusted with the most ambitious projects”, said I. Metshin. For example, everyone has heard such ambitious projects as “BAM”, “Magnitka”, and in our republic, these are “KAMAZ”, “Nizhnekamskneftekhim”, “Orgsintez”, and many others. “The Komsomol school has become a good, strong foundation in the fate of so many Kazan citizens who have made and continue to make a significant contribution to the development of our city”, said the Mayor. He thanked the activists of the Komsomol on behalf of all citizens for the selfless work and education of young people and handed them letters of gratitude.

“Our Komsomol biography is the golden pages of our life. The Komsomol taught us everything. We have learned how to work with people correctly, evaluate current events, and reflect not only within a specific event or region. Since I had to work in the management of the city for 17 years, I can say that the city would not be what it became today if it had not been hardened in its Komsomol years”, said Kamil Iskhakov, expressing gratitude to the Komsomol school.
