Youth associations in Yakutia: history and modernity

During the existence of the USSR, the system of young people’s involvement in public life was clearly structured. Children became оctobrists, then pioneers, and later joined the Komsomol. However, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, which was a landmark event in Russian history, the situation has changed dramatically. Young people find it much more difficult to find their place in society, leading to the emergence of new forms of association and self-expression. The relevance of the work stems from the need to promote youth public associations among modern scientists. Studying the evolution of these associations allows us to track the dynamics of changes in young people’s interests and needs. By encouraging youth participation in solving their problems, these organizations promote their development, self-fulfillment, and social integration, as well as their integration into society’s socio-economic life. These organizations provide a platform for developing self-management skills and leadership, as well as implementing youth projects. There is a significant amount of research on the younger generation today, but the history of these youth organizations often goes unexplored. Youth is a driving force behind social processes, and many social problems originate with young people. In this regard, the study of the history of youth organizations and movements as a response to the challenges of society is of great interest. The subject of the study are youth associations. The objective of the research is to study the history of these associations in Yakutia during the 90s – 2000s. The aim of the work is to highlight the development of youth associations in Sakha Republic (Yakutia). The methodological base is based on the principles of historicism and objectivity. The methods used include narrative, historical-genealogical, and historical-comparative analysis. This article focuses on the history of post-Soviet youth associations in this region. Special emphasis is placed on the various types of such organizations in the area. The time frame for the study encompasses the 1990s through 2000s.
