Komsomol, or VLKSM (Vsesoyuznii Leninskii Kommunisticheskii Soyuz Molodyozhi) was a Communist Union of Youth in the former Soviet Union. Sometimes they were refereed to as the "youth division" of the Communist Party. The youngest people eligible for Komsomol were fourteen years old. When they become members, they were given this pin to wear. This original vintage pin would make a great addition to any military and/or Soviet collection.
