More than 200,000 Komsomol members went to the construction sites on assignment from their organizations. Among the projects completed with the active participation of the Komsomol were the Dneproges power station, the Moscow and Gorky automobile plants, the Stalingrad tractor plant, the Magnitogorsk metallurgical combine, and the Turksib railroad.
