To the Editorial Board of "Komsomolskaya Pravda", May, 1945

I congratulate the fighting organ of Soviet youth, the paper “Komsomolskaya Pravda”, on her twenty years.

During the years of peaceful construction and throughout the days of the Great Patriotic War, “Komsomolskaya Pravda” has educated the Soviet youth in the spirit of unreserved service to the Motherland.

I am sure that in the future, the “Komsomolskaya Pravda” is going to successfully accomplish educational tasks towards the next generation in the devoted spirit to the Leninist Party, to help youth to achieve the realizations of science and culture, to strengthen the forces of the young patriots for battle, with a view to the ultimate flourishing of our great Motherland!

J. Stalin
