History
KNE was founded on September 15, 1968, with a decision of Politburo of the Central Committee of the KKE, during the Greek military junta of 1967-1974, as an organization of youth with revolutionary and communist features.
It was the historical continue of OKNE (Organization of Communist Youth of Greece), of all the organizations of youth which had already took part in people's struggle in Greece, such as EPON (United Panhellenic Organization of Youth), DNE (Democratic Youth of Greece), D.N.Lampraki (Democratic Youth "Lamprakis").
The period of 1989-1991, a deep crisis shocked KNE. It was a crisis with two phases: in 1989 with a split, and in 1991 with its dissolution and the attempt of its diffusion in Synaspismos Youth League. Finally, with the efforts of some hyndreds of members and KKE's help, KNE survived and in March 1993, the 6th Congress of the Organization took place.
In late 2000s, KNE decided to constitute MAS (Front of Students' Struggle), (Greek: Μέτωπο Αγώνα Σπουδαστών, ΜΑΣ) which was finally founded by students' organizations in Athens, 6 November 2009.

This book or that, come to this hallowed place
Where my friends’ portraits hang and look thereon;

Think where man’s glory most begins and ends
And say my glory was I had such friends.”
