Lenin Komsomol Prize

Lenin Komsomol Prize

Lenin Komsomol Prize ( _ru. премия Ленинского комсомола) was a Soviet annual award for the best works in science, engineering, literature or art carried out by young authors of age not exceeding 33 years.

The award was instituted by the Central Committee of VLKSM in March of 1966. The reason for the selection of this particular age threshold is unclear (the age threshold for Komsomol membership is 28). The coincidence of the threshold with the "age of Christ" was a matter of jokes.

In addition to the all-Union prize, Union republics had republican versions of the prize, named respectively, e.g., Belarus Lenin Komsomol Prize, and awarded by the republican Komsomol branches.
