Political education of youth in modern Russia

Abstract

   The relevance of the topic is due to the presence in modern Russia of different options and approaches to the political education of young people.

   That aspect is to be studied as well as it is to identify the main subjects of political education of youth, to show their importance and the basic principles of their activities.

   The existence in Russia of different entities carrying out political education, on the one hand, creates political knowledge with different data and facts. On the other hand, for modern society, when different subjects form political knowledge, the issue of creating disparate political knowledge with dichotomous and multidirectional properties that does not lead to the formation of stable political consciousness becomes obvious. It especially becomes an issue for young people when, by virtue of their experience and skills, they can use modern technologies (unlike older generations), have the opportunity to receive not only political knowledge from official sources (from different levels of educational institutions or, for example, from Media that are somehow affiliated with the state, etc.), but also from various other entities (for example, bloggers). Thus, young people may develop political knowledge that is different from official sources, which contributes to the development of an unstable value system of young people.
