I have found a solution I've found myself "Chronicle of the Union of Youth. Unfortunately, neither the author nor the source I have not been preserved. But compiled news, albeit in abbreviated form, based on the Department of Manuscripts and RM St. Petersburg Archive of Literature and Art, that is valuable.
In my opinion, the Youth League - a unique organization not only in the history of Russian avant-garde. This association of artists, for whom there was not any artistic idea or concept. (I do not remember another such). The main principle of association was in Novelty, ie It was officially established and registered society of innovators in many different directions. Perhaps it is this principle of association allowed peacefully, and most importantly, a fruitful co-exist in such different masters, as Philo and Malevich, Tatlin and Matyushin, Rozanova, Bubnov, etc. Since CM is quite comfortable collaborated Larionov and Goncharova and brothers Burliuks. Artists joined the company, came out of it, but after some time again to return. Because nowhere else they could find innovative quests such support as the SM.
And the name "Union of Youth" had no relation to the age of the participants. If the footnotes to see the date of birth - the majority of the CM were not at the youth age category. "Young" means to them "a new, growing, growing.
And the very idea of novelty is not haunted our innovators. They are usually signed their policy statements indicating the exact date. And not by chance - to secure a priority (as an invention).
TO SEE absolute merit, in my opinion, should include the fact that they organized the first edition, entirely devoted to the avant-garde art in various fields. They first drew attention to the theater, as the scope of application of its innovative ideas, first started talking about the synthesis of various arts, but who knows what more ...
Hopefully, I've found, will be useful.
