Badge commemorating the 60th anniversary of the LĻKJS
The LĻKJS was founded in 1940, during the Soviet occupation of Latvia, as a union of formerly clandestine communist youth organizations that operated in independent Latvia between the World Wars. Membership of the LĻKJS was predominantly ethnically Latvian, with a substantial Russian minority.[1]
In early 1990, delegates at the LĻKJS Congress voted to adopt a new set of organisational statutes independent of the all-Union Komsomol, but not amounting to a full withdrawal. This action was precipitated by the independence of the Estonian and Lithuanian branches of the all-Union Komsomol in 1989 and 1990, respectively.[2][3]
