Abstract
Representatives of the younger generation today offer their own assessments of the actions of political actors based on moral values and norms. However, with a more detailed analysis of such assessments, one can notice the blurring of the criteria by which any political decision or action is evaluated. In connection with this, the question arises about the specifics of understanding by the young generations of those moral values and norms that serve as a justification for the proposed assessments. The empirical basis of the study is the results of the project “Moral and political in the minds of Russian youth: value orientations, ethical ideas and political attitudes”, implemented in 2020–2021. The proposed article touches upon the issue of the influence of the socio-political identity of the representatives of the younger generation on their moral assessments of political phenomena and processes. The results of the study show the special attention of young respondents to the values of justice, freedom, human rights, and self-realization.
