Jacket of a member of the All-Union Leninist Young Communist League Construction Brigade named after XXVII Congress of the CPSU
All-Union student construction brigades, AUSCB, existed in the Soviet Union from 1959 to 1991. They were part of the All-Union Komsomol program for students of higher, secondary vocational and primary vocational educational institutions.
The students spent their leisure time to join the USSR national economy facilities. The members of the brigades took part in the largest construction projects in the country, from the automobile plants VAZ and KAMAZ to the Baikal-Amur Mainline and the Sayano-Shushenskaya HPP. The work of students was paid, in addition, the goal of the movement was to foster a respectful attitude towards work in young people.
In February 1985, the Central Committee of the Komsomol declared the Berezniki fourth potash plant an All-Union Intense-Work Komsomol construction project, that is, an extremely important construction project for the country. In 1986, the final phase of construction of the plant began, and soon a mine and household plant were put into operation. On December 31, 1986 BKZ-4 potash mine was commissioned.
Student construction brigades rendered great help to the construction workers. Fighters of the All-Union Intense-Work Komsomol Construction Brigade named after the XXVII Congress of the CPSU arrived in Berezniki from the Kirov Region, the Mari and Udmurt Autonomous Republics and Latvia.
The jacket presented in the museum’s exposition belonged to one of the members of the Latvian student construction brigade of those times. The main material of the jacket, or the work jacket, is dark blue denim trimmed with yellow thread. there are shoulder straps with a button fastening colour-printed satin patches. Chevrons are sewn with white thread - white colour-printed satin patches with color printing on the chest and right sleeve.
The uniform was an important element of the construction brigade movement. The chevrons showed attribution to AUSCB and membership in specific brigade, universities, and brigade rank. The jackets of the “old timers” who had been wearing chevrons of brigades for several years were especially popular.
Symbols and traditions played an important role in the construction brigade movement. Thus, AUSCB had its own newspaper “Molodoi Tselinnik (Young Virgin Land Developer)”. And the construction brigade romance enriched Soviet culture with many songs and poems.
