Student construction brigade

Student construction brigades (Russian: Студенческие строительные отряды (стройотряды, ССО, stroyotryad, SSO)) are temporary construction teams composed of students in universities and other institutions of higher education to work, usually during vacations. This form originated under the control of Komsomol of the Soviet Union.

The stroyotryad members had khaki/camouflage green-colored uniforms with chevrons and badges indicating the association.

There are efforts to revive the approach in modern Russia and Belarus.
