Children's public associations have attracted the attention of researchers for many years. Recently, the state has paid great attention to the issues of education of the younger generation, where children's public associations occupy a significant place, which means that their role and place in the life of modern schoolchildren are changing. Today in Russia there is a sufficient number of normative documents regulating the activities of these organizations.

Using the methods of description, comparison, and analysis of theoretical literature and regulatory framework, the article examines the history of the creation and development of children’s public organizations in the Soviet Union and modern Russia, describes the stages of the children’s movement, its goals and objectives, as well as the basic principles of the All-Russian public-state movement of children and youth “Movement of the First” (hereinafter referred to as RMCY “Movement of the First”). The article also considers the changes that have occurred in the activities of children’s public associations after the collapse of the USSR and the transition to new forms of organizing children’s lives. As a result, the leading role of RMCY “Movement of the First” in ensuring guarantees for the future development of our country as a repository of the best practices and traditions of the Soviet and modern education systems is determined, and conclusions are drawn about the priority of working with youth in the state policy of modern Russia.
