The transition from a semi-digital to digital society depends on the nature of work with information, and the speed and quality of digitalization largely depend on Generation Z. The purpose of the article is to identify and evaluate Gen Z’s views in Russia and Slovakia on the search and assessment of information in a semi-digital society. The empirical research methods are a questionnaire survey, in-depth interviews, and a focus group. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, they were conducted remotely. The study reveals that the views of the Slovak and Russian Generation Z are similar in terms of searching and speeding up the acquisition of information and especially in the high assessment of their capabilities in information search and low confidence in advertising campaigns. The Slovak Gen Z is informationally mature and, at the same time, Internet-dependent. A difference in the perception of AI in Russian and Slovak Gen Z is identified. The results can be used to improve youth policies and provide information to society in the transition to fully digital life.

El artículo examina la influencia y el grado de confianza en la información sobre la COVID 19 entre los estudiantes de la Generación Z en universidades rusas y eslovacas. Se utilizaron como métodos empíricos una encuesta sociológica con metodología Likert, una entrevista en profundidad y un grupo focal. El estudio se realizó de forma remota utilizando Google Form, el servicio VoIP Skype y una plataforma de conferencias en la nube: Zoom. El estudio reveló que los jóvenes rusos y eslovacos de la Generación Z son contradictorios con cualquier información: los estudiantes rusos encontraron una contradicción sobre la credibilidad de las estadísticas de pandemias y la utilidad de la información de COVID 19 en los medios; Los estudiantes eslovacos tienden a creer que la información al respecto es inverosímil, mientras que la mayoría de los encuestados eslovacos en este estudio expresaron confianza en la información sobre la pandemia. Al comparar los agregados, se revelaron ciertas similitudes: existe una significancia estadística entre las características factoriales y efectivas con una correlación positiva alta y muy alta. Los resultados obtenidos pueden ayudar a desarrollar opiniones sobre la naturaleza del impacto y el grado de confianza en la información sobre la pandemia de COVID 19 entre representantes de diferentes generaciones.
