https://doi.org/10.26794/2226-7867-2021-11-2-63-71
Abstract
The article presents the results of the study of the political culture of the Russian youth as a generational community, whose socialization took place in the conditions of the post-Soviet political reality under the influence of traditional institutions and new digital factors. The study was conducted based on a political-psychological approach. The empirical base of the study was made up of the materials of the All-Russian representative survey. The authors identify and characterize the views of Russian students about the main socio-political institutions. The authors have identified significant behavioural dominants of the Russian student youth. There are trends towards moving into “virtual reality” and a decline in interest in actual political participation. The obtained scientific data can later be used as the basis for instrumental and technological support for the activities of state structures and public institutions implementing state youth policy.
