Brief history

National Youth Council of Russia was founded on 10 January 1992 on the initiative of 8 non-governmental organisations. Foundation of National Youth Council was supported by the RF President Decree 1075 “On immediate actions on development of youth policy in the Russian Federation”, dated 16 September 1992. National Youth Council was registered in Ministry of Justice of Russian Federation (Register-certificate 1195) on 21 August 1992. A statute was reregistered on 8 September 1997. The status of the organisation is all-Russian.
