The World Festival of Youth and Students is an international event, organized by the World Federation of Democratic Youth(WFDY), a left-wing yough organization, jointly with the International Union of Students since 1947. The largest festival was the 6th, held in 1957 in Moscow, when 34, 000 young people from 131 countries attended the event. This festival also marked the international debut of the song "Moscow Nights", which subsequently went on to become perhaps the most widely recognized Russian song in the world. During the Cold War many festivals were held in capitals of Communist states because of the enormous expenditure and coordination required to support a youth festival. As a result, by the 1960s the festival' s were accused of being a powerful tool of Communist propaganda, a claim that has diminished with the festival' s continuing after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
