Patriotism and All-Russian Civic Identity in the Value System of Modern Russian Students (Based on the Materials of a Survey of Students of the Far Eastern Federal District)

The article presents the results of a sociological study of the peculiarities of the formation and strengthening of civic identity and patriotic sentiments among students of educational institutions of higher education in the Far Eastern Federal District. The subject of the study was the values, career aspirations and difficulties of students studying at universities in the Far Eastern Federal District. The work examines various aspects of civic identity, including attitudes towards family, health, material well-being, as well as common symbols and ideals. Special attention is paid to the role of historical and cultural memory in the formation of the all-Russian civic identity. The results of the study are discussed in the context of the current social and political situation in Russia. The analysis of the data showed that the main value remains a strong family, and the leading position is occupied by the standard of living and high income. The youth of the Far Eastern Federal District are characterized by a high level of patriotism (up to 70%), self-identification with all-Russian, national values and symbols of identity as opposed to ethnic, regional and supranational ones.
