This study examines Komsomol and Pioneer songs of the 1920s–1980s. Part of the study is devoted to the socio-political and cultural prerequisites for the creation of revolutionary songs and songbooks. Songbooks were created both in the capitals and provinces; their content often overlapped. The structure and composition of songbooks of various years is also considered. The article focuses in particular on the emotional elements of the songs as well as the linguistic means used to express the performer’s feelings, as emotive vocabulary and other elements in the text affect the listener’s emotional responses. It suggests that the transformation of sociohistorical and emotional-psychological attitudes in Soviet Komsomol and Pioneer songs of the 1920s–1980s reflects a “wave-like” process of ideological change in mass music and song culture. Key words: Komsomol songs, Pioneer songs, songbooks, emotive vocabulary.
