Congratulations to our subscribers on the World Youth Day! This holiday is aimed at uniting youth organizations in the struggle for democracy, peace and youth rights.
It appeared in connection with the founding of the World Federation of Democratic Youth (WFDY) in 1945. The organization was created at the World Youth Conference in London.
Since 1947 the Federation has been organizing the World Festival of Youth and Students, the last of which was held in October 2017 in the Russian Federation (in Moscow and Sochi).
Two documents presented in our library will help you learn more about this organization and its activities:
WFDY, 65 years struggling against imperialism
19th World Festival of Youth and Students
We also invite you to read the library’s publication "Youth Days in the CIS countries", in which one of the sections is dedicated to International Youth Days.
