For reference

The origins of student labor groups of Tatarstan are rooted in the traditions established by the generations of students of the 1950s who participated in the development of Kazakhstan lands.

The year of birth of the student construction teams of the republic is considered to be 1963, when three squads of the KCEI (Kazan Civil Engineering Institute) went for construction sites in the Tselinograd region of the Kazakh SSR. In 1966, the first meeting of student construction teams of Tatarstan took place. In 1967, the Tatar Republican headquarters of student construction teams were created. Student squads joined active young men and women who sought to see new lands, to take part in the construction of new cities and enterprises.

The squads of the republic participated in the harvest, worked on the most important construction projects. The routes of the student squads included the impact facilities of the Tyumen and Astrakhan regions, the Mari Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, Uzbekistan and Moldova.
