A new look at the political culture of the youth in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia)

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the theory of political culture of youth and the analysis of political activity of youth in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia). The relevance of studying the political culture of youth is primarily related to understanding the historical and political foundations laid in the minds of young people, their political values and behavior. To analyze the political activity of young people, the authors conducted a study “The attitude of young people to elections” among students aged 15 to 18 years. The choice for the age group of 15-18 years is due to the fact that this category is the age of starting expectations and opportunities for a young person as the first independent participation in the life of the state. It is during this period that active political socialization begins, a person begins to acquire new political roles, and at the same time responsibility for his future, society and the country as a whole. Particular attention was paid to such aspects of political activity of young people as the degree of development and perception of political knowledge by young people, understanding and evaluation of ongoing political events or phenomena, the degree of readiness of young people to participate in political processes. The results of the study allow us to conclude that the youth is characterized by a national political culture based on the typology of American political scientists G. Almond and S. Verba. The youth of the republic is characterized by rather low political activity, which is expressed in the weak interest of young people regarding politics. Young people have a low sense of responsibility for their choice and future, which can become a problem for them.
