The growth of anti-Semitism among the Young Communist groups in Russia is commented on by the editor of the “Comsomolskaya Pravda”, the organ of the Young Communist League in Russia. Owing to our lack of control, the editor writes, there is noticeable an evergrowing movement on the part of a certain part of our youth in an antisocial direction. Hooliganism, drunkenness, profligacy and anti-Semitism are on the increase.
A member of the Central Executive Committee of the Soviets, writing in the same paper, is of the same opinion. Drunkenness, hooliganism, individualistic tendencies and anti-Semitism, he writes, are growing. The youth suffers from them especially and it deprives them of all interest in politics.
