During the Soviet era, children’s after school activities were kind of very popular. Almost every Soviet kid attended some kind of a group where he was being trained in some kind of activity.
Practically every kid could find something to his liking, many attended a few of them. They usually happened 1-3 times a week in after-school hours in nearby public schools or “houses of culture” or “houses of pioneers” clubs. Most were free of charge, of course.
What was banned however is any kind of Western and Eastern martial arts – our usual Karate or Jiu-Jitsu sections were non existent in USSR. One exception was a Judo which was legal and even Vladimir Putin attended.
Nowadays the variety is different, karate and other sections are abundant, however it is pretty doubtful that you can find any “young cosmonaut” or “young railway worker” section.
Also everything costs money now, and sometimes it’s pretty expensive.
