Young Communist League of Estonia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Young Communist League of Estonia (in Estonian: Eestimaa Kommunistlik Noorsooühing, abbreviated EKNÜ) was the youth wing of the Communist Party of Estonia during the interbellum period. EKNÜ was working in a clandestine manner. It published Noor Proletaarlane and Noor Tööline.
EKNÜ was a section of the Communist Youth International.
After the incorporation of Estonia into the Soviet Union, EKNÜ merged into the All-Union Leninist Young Communist League (VLKSM). The Estonian branch of VLKSM had the name 'Leninist Young Communist League of Estonia' (Eestimaa Leninlik Kommunistlik Noorsooühing)
