Soviet Youth Group Tries Different Tack, Vote Not Unanimous
- Share via
MOSCOW — Two members of the Soviet Komsomol Communist youth organization caused a political sensation today by voting against a motion at their congress, where votes have been unanimous for many years, the Tass press agency said.
The agency said four other members abstained when the congress voted on a new charter for the organization. Tass said the charter corresponded to a drive by Kremlin leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev to revitalize the economy and make society more open and democratic.
