“…Яркие идеи новой волны молодежных исследователей привели к возрождению интереса к новым формам молодежной социальности. Наравне с этим продолжают исследоваться: молодежная транзиция в контексте структурных условий взросления и их связи с молодежными культурами [Pilkington et al, 2002;Hodkinson, 2004;Nayak, 2003;MacDonald, Marsh, 2005], роль пространственных локаций, территорий и режимов реального времени, влияющих на жизненные траектории и культурные практики молодежи [Roberts, Pollock, 2009], особенности исследования маргинальных или периферийных мест, групп и практик [Pilkington, Johnson, 2003;Shildrick, Blackman, MacDonald, 2009], поколенческие различия, новые формы гражданского участия и вовлеченности, формирующиеся солидарности вокруг ценностно-стилевых противостояний на молодежных сценах [Omelchenko, Pilkington, 2013;Omelchenko, Sabirova, 2016]. Как соотносится этот «классический» багаж пост/субкультурного дискурса с нашим исследовательским опытом?…”

The article focused on the experience of studying youth cultural practices and group identities in Russia in the post-soviet era. The attention to 25 years period of the youth cultural space transformation could be explained not only with scientific interest and an attempt to understand the changes that have occurred in this historical period, but with the fact, that during these years the theoretical and practical findings and work of the Scientific Centre “Region”, Ulyanovsk State University (founded in 1995) and Centre for Youth Studies, Higher School of Economics, St. Petersburg (founded in 2009) were developed. The task to include in the frame of one article all our results is ambitious and perhaps could not be complete. That is why we will focus the main attention on the key directions of the transformation of youth cultural practices, on the crucial plots of the direct and mediated influence of global trends as well as local discourses. It is important to understand: did these changes follow the global tendencies (Europe, North America, and Australia) described in the key works of researchers of youth cultures and practices? Or is the Russian case an exception fallen out the ‘classical’ picture? The basis for the analysis is the data from key research projects of our Centers, as well as new theoretical and methodological approaches to the analysis of changing youth sociality in the frame of political and cultural transformations of Russian society.

“…This is due to the fact that personal value potential is relevant to target determinants upon which every individual's ideals, beliefs, worldviews are formed. The process of forming a value baggage is complex and multi-stage, at each of the stages there is a change and correction of the values of an individual under the influence of various objective and subjective factors (Omelchenko & Sabirova, 2016;Omelchenko, 2021).…”

The article reveals the potential of the socio-cultural space of a traditional folk holiday in the aspect of the formation of value orientations of the younger generation. The urgency of the problem is due to the increased attention to the search for effective ways to form the value orientations of adolescents in modern society, in the system in which the traditional folk holiday culture occupies a special place. A comparative and theoretical analysis of the literature on the research issue is utilized to meet the study’s aim. The paper analyzed the state of practical activities of cultural and leisure institutions with adolescents and concluded that the study of the traditional folk holiday as a socio-cultural space for the formation of the personality of adolescents allows justifying its great educational potential in the value-forming process.

“…Following Alexander Libman and Vladimir Kozlov’s (2017) definition of compliant political activism, the concept is understood as the kind of grassroots level social or political activism that does not involve ‘criticisms of the key elements of the regime (e.g., the way political leadership is formed)’ (Libman & Kozlov, 2017, p. 195). The literature on contemporary Russian youth activism is rich in analyses of non-compliant (oppositional) and subcultural forms of civic activism (Lyytikäinen, 2016; Omel’chenko & Sabirova, 2011; Pilkington et al, 2010), as well as on the political activism of the notorious pro-Putin youth movement Nashi, active from 2005 until 2013 (Bacon & Atwal, 2012; Hemment, 2012; Mijnssen, 2014). In both popular and scholarly narratives, youth activists of both ends of the political continuum are juxtaposed with ‘non-activists’, the ‘average’ young Russians that are claimed to be a politically passive and disengaged segment (see, e.g., Podkhomutnikova, 2011).…”

In the 2010s Russia, government-organized local, regional and national youth forums have become major sites for state-youth interaction. These typically weeklong summer camps are organized across Russia, attracting up to one million participants annually. Although the forums have diverse foci, they are all formal platforms of youth participation, aimed at young people engaging in ‘compliant’ forms of activism. Drawing from qualitative content analysis of official reports and media accounts combined with participant observation and interview data, this article analyses the forums as a case of youth policy in an authoritarian political setting. It finds that the government treats youth as a ‘problematic resource’. Moreover, while the forums’ agenda is defined by the policymakers, young people acquire and apply agency to navigate and negotiate the official agenda and re-signify it to respond to their interests. This process, it is argued, has an empowering effect regardless of the constraining authoritarian setting.
