Abstract

The article is based on the study “Political identifi cation of youth in the Moscow region” conducted in May-June 2021 on the basis of the Center for Political Science of the ISPR FCTAS RAS. It describes the features of the political and ideological identifi cation of youth in Moscow and the Moscow region, which are considered as the most important factor in political behavior and civil activity. The authors identifi ed the groups of young people according to their self-identifi cation, based on a civilizational approach. Revealing the positions of diff erent groups of young people regarding the present and future of Russia demonstrates a high level of social optimism among those who demonstrate adherence to the Russian cultural matrix. In turn, in the groups where orientations towards the Western culture prevail, there is a more pessimistic attitude towards both their future and the prospects for the country’s development.
