Three years of SVO: the dynamics of studying youth attitudes (on the example of the Penza region)
Abstract
Today, our country finds itself in an extremely contradictory position of Russia in the global political arena in the fluctuating conditions of instability of geo-economic processes, which has a tremendous impact on the formation of attitudes towards foreign policy threats to modern youth. The article analyzes empirical data obtained during a study of the public opinion of the Penza region youth aged 14 to 35 using the example of a focus group study in 2024 and an interview in 2025. The purpose of the study is to study the socio-cultural features of the political potential of modern youth through studying public opinion about the course of a special military operation. The materials obtained during the focus group within the framework of a scientific project studying the protest potential of the region's youth are presented. As a result of the study, it was determined that young people support the actions of the authorities relative to the beginning and progress of their military operations, and also have fairly positive forecasts regarding the outcome and completion of the operation for Russia.
