The 9th of May will always be the day that the peoples all around the world will remember it as the day of the Great Peoples Victory against the fascist threat. It was the day that in 1945 the Soviet Flag was raised in Reichstag symbolically marking the end of the Second World War and the Antifascist Victory of the Peoples.
Nazism and fascism were not created by chance or by some madmen. It was the result of the imperialist contradictions, the monopolies antagonism for the share of the markets and the exploitative nature of imperialism and capitalism. Against them they found the peoples resistance, the antifascist, anti - imperialist and liberation fronts which were built with struggles and sacrifices of the vanguard of the people’s movement in each country.
The fascist were unable to break the wall of the peoples will, solidarity, internationalism. They could not bend the peoples will for freedom, democracy and social progress.

A new book has been published about an amazing episode in the history of the YCL. From 1967 onwards, South Africa’s African National Congress (headed by Nelson Mandela) began recruiting young, white, non-South African people, mainly in London, who were willing to go on clandestine missions to apartheid South Africa when almost all ANC members were either in jail or had had to go into exile. Being white, they could enter the country and travel around without arousing suspicion from the apartheid regime. The majority of these young people were recruited through the YCL and the League’s London District Secretary was given the job of recruiting suitable members for this daring and challenging task.
