Abstract
The political consciousness and political behavior of young people are important social indicators of their internal state and the educational influence of the social environment and the institution of the family. At each stage of historical development young people have different degrees of involvement in the political life of society, support and retranslation of their ideals and values, the level of trust in the institutions of power, as well as civic position and political activity. The purpose of the analytical paper is to study the evolution of political consciousness and behavior of Russian youth in the conditions of the new social time as it reflects political processes in the country and in the world. To what extent do the cardinal changes in the world order affect the political consciousness and behavior of young people, their value orientations and life plans, social attitudes, trust, and attitude to political institutions? The article dynamically (from 2014 to 2022) examines the trajectory of changes in the political consciousness and behavior of Russian youth. This period is characterized by changes in the geopolitical processes taking place in the world, which are caused by the struggle for the formation of a new world order. These and related questions can be answered primarily by the results of sociological research, as a subtle tool for the understanding and cognition of social reality.
