Our History

1994

Foundation

The youth social-democratic movement 'Maladaja Hramada' is formed on the initiative of the BSDP (Hramada) party.

1996–1998

Development

Officially registered on 14 June 1996. The organisation becomes one of the most influential youth organisations in Belarus, co-founds the Council of Youth Organisations, and takes part in protests against the 1996 authoritarian referendum.

1999–2004

Split & Liquidation

Internal conflict splits the movement. Some members form 'Maladyja Sacyjal-Demakraty' (MSD). In 2004 the Supreme Court liquidates 'Maladaja Hramada' at the suit of the Ministry of Justice.

2005

Reunification

MSD and MH hold a unification congress on 3 July 2005. A new Statute, Program, and symbolism — a rose with the contours of Belarus — are adopted. The unified organisation 'MSD-MH' is formed.

2025

Repression

The organisation's social media pages are added to the Republican List of Extremist Materials by Belarusian authorities.
