(Moscow University for the Humanities)

Abstract ♦ The article is dedicated to the conceptualization of the 1970s young generation and its role in the history of the Baikal-Amur Mainline construction (BAM). The authors criticize and contest the wide-spread assertions that the mainline was constructed by “voluntary slaves” and that “the BAM is the road to nowhere”.

Keywords: the Baikal-Amur Mainline, BAM, Komsomol, youth.
