description Students historically have been a special, unique social group, which could not but make it the object of close attention by representatives of various disciplines, including historians. The early Soviet period became in many ways key to the fate of Russian higher education, because during this period there was an active «proletarianisation» of universities, the educational system was reformed, new practices, traditions and rituals were integrated into everyday life. The changes have also occurred in the organization of a solution to the issue that is always relevant for young people, namely the poor financial situation, low quality of life. The purpose of this article is to review the progress and results of the campaign «Week of assistance to proletarian students» aimed at helping needy students and conducted by the Commission for improving the life of students in the first half of the 1920s. The study was based on unpublished materials of Commission Leningrad, which allowed to consider the issue on the example of one of the largest centers of higher education in the country. As a result, it was possible to establish that only the first «Week», held in autumn 1923, can be considered truly successful in terms of attracting funds for improving the lives of students and providing them with effective assistance. The following attempts cannot be evaluated in this way, and one of the main reasons for this was the transformation of the campaign into a predominantly ideological one, aimed mainly at achieving «workers' ties with proletarian students», which fundamentally reduced its real benefit to student youth.
