Abstract
The article presents data from a study of the political participation of young people in the elections to the State Duma in 2021 in three main parameters: value attitudes, electoral preferences, and political behaviour. The authors conducted a combined sociological study: 9 focus groups (in 3 cities) and a quantitative online survey (number of respondents — 400 people with representativeness by sex and age for the entire general population “Russian youth”). The theoretical results of the study supplement the accumulated knowledge by obtaining up-to-date data on the values, electoral preferences, and political behaviour of young people, which had a direct impact on the participation of this social group in the State Duma elections in 2021.
