Several generations of Russians passed throw school of Komsomol — it was the whole era in country life. Komsomol — was the best and prospering time in life of Russia, our grandparents and parents can tell many stories about it.

On one of meetings, devoted to a day of celebration of the 60 anniversary of Komsomol, the regional committee of All-Union Leninist Young Communist League issued a decree about creation of the museum, devoted to the historical past of the Komsomol organization.

The ceremonial opening took place in October, 1978.
