  1. The Communist Union of Youth (Russian: Коммунисти́ческий сою́з молодёжи), usually known as Komsomol, was the youth division of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. The Komsomol in its earliest form was established in urban centers on 29 October 1918. During the early years, it was a Russian organization, known as the Russian Communist Union of Youth, or RKSM. During 1922 it was reformed as an all-union agency, the youth division of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU), named Vsesoyuznii Leninskii Kommunisticheskii Soyuz Molodyozhi (VLKSM) (Russian: Всесоюзный Ленинский Коммунистический Союз Молодёжи (ВЛКСМ) ; English: All-Union Leninist Young Communist League).

  2. On 29 October Andrei Petrovich Ryabushkin (1861 –1904) was born, a Russian painter. His major works were devoted to life of ordinary Russians of the 17th century. He also worked on frescoes for Saint Sophia Cathedral in Novgorod and mosaics for the Church of the Savior on Blood in Saint Petersburg. There are 24 of his mosaics on the walls of Church of the Savior on Blood (17 inside and seven outside) (1897–1900). In the later 19th century he became interested in the life of contemporary Russian peasants (such paintings as Tea-Drinking and A Young Man Breaking into the Girls' Dance).
