Civic-patriotic education of the modern Russian young generation and the potential of using Internet technologies

Abstract

This article highlights the importance of civic-patriotic education of youth in modern Russian society. Family and traditional education system play key roles in forming the foundations of spiritual-moral and state-oriented education. However, in the context of modern technologies, it is important to take into account the influence of the Internet and other digital platforms on this process. The article says that for school-age adolescents, events within the framework of patriotic education are organized more systematically, but at the next important stage of life - student life, when young people have many opportunities for personal growth, gaining new knowledge and active participation in public life, patriotic education seems to lose its priority. Currently, in social networks, in particular student media, publications that develop patriotism in young men and women are rare. Most young people do not have knowledge about heroes, traditions, their region. All this ultimately leads to the absence of sincere patriotism and faith in the Fatherland. Therefore, the theme of the columns and series of publications aimed at cultivating patriotic qualities in young people is extremely relevant these days.
