The Higher Komsomol School trained future leaders, teachers, and party workers, offering degrees in "communist education." Russia will launch a new program called the Digoria Political Education Workshop to train personnel who work with youth, a source in the Kremlin told RBK. The source likened the program directly to the Higher Komsomol School. "It will be its modern analog for young specialists in the socio-political sphere and youth policy administrators," he said.Participants "will receive both ideological training and special knowledge on the management of youth organizations and participation in political processes."Russia's state Youth Affairs Agency, Rosmolodezh, is expected to be the school's primary customer. By the end of the year, the school aims to conduct 12-13 educational programs for 100 people per course.
