Migration attitudes of Volga region youth

Abstract

The current extremely contradictory position of Russia in the global political arena in the fluctuating conditions of instability of geo-economic processes has a tremendous impact on the formation of political self-identification of young people. The dependence of Russian society on negative external factors emanating from the Western coalition aimed at infringing on our interests, weakening the economy and falling patriotism has become a thing of the past, which allowed the country to strengthen internal resources and, moreover, claim the place of the center of power that the country was in Soviet times.

Thus, the relevance of studying the political identity of modern youth is due to a number of factors. First of all, youth as a socio-demographic group is considered an integral strategic force of the state, capable of independently establishing vectors of development of society in the near future, determining the international and national strategy of state policy. Accordingly, the success of the decisions taken for the benefit of Russian society will depend on the formed political identity.

And finally, the rapid processes of digitalization and the increasing role of social networks in young people contribute to the establishment of a large number of social contacts that offer to try on new social roles, through the exchange of a huge amount of information, young people become eyewitnesses of new socio-political processes. Thanks to the growth of information, values are being replaced, a new worldview is being created and new political attitudes are being formed.
