Civil-patriotic education of youth in modern russian society: actual problems and development prospects

Abstract

In the context of social and cultural transformations, the upbringing of a patriotic personality is a strategic priority for the country. The article deals with the main aspects of civil and patriotic education of modern Russian youth. The authors emphasize the importance of the traditional education system within which the primary socialization of children takes place and the foundations for the upbringing of a spiritual, moral and state-oriented personality are laid. According to the results of a sociological study with the participation of the authors, the contradictory values, views, and beliefs of young people of different age groups were revealed. It is concluded that the existing system of patriotic education should be built taking into account different age groups of young people and cover not only the historical heritage and the popularization of official state symbols, but also other patriotic guidelines aimed at forming a creative worldview in the system of secondary socialization.
