As a response to the special military operation, the discourse on the “colonial” nature of the Russian Federation and the prominent local identity among students in the national-territorial regions of the SFD, such as the Republics of Altai, Khakassia and Tuva, have amplified. This poses the question of the formation of a civic identity and patriotic feelings among young people as the basis for legitimizing political institutions and structures. Important mechanisms for the consolidation and mobilization of patriotic-minded youth are patriotic organizations. As a result of content analysis of the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation’s information portal, social network pages of patriotic organizations (n = 121) and expert polls of leaders and members of organizations (n = 85), the authors have identified several categories of patriotic activities, which are aimed at the formation of a civic identity and patriotic feelings among young people in the mentioned regions. It was found that in all the regions studied, organizations of a military-patriotic and military-historical orientation, focused on forming a national identity, predominate. The ethnic component in the activity of patriotic organizations is more present in Khakassia and Tuva, however, in general share of patriotic organizations its representation is insignificant. The processes of standardization and unification of methods of work, formats of events and governing structures of these organizations, associated with the majority of youth patriotic organizations coming under the patronage of the federal movement “Yunarmia”, on the one hand, level out local and ethnic identities, and on the other hand, contribute to the formation of a statist model of patriotism among youth.

Recently, more researchers have been talking about the importance of civil-patriotic practices in the formation of patriotism in the youth environment. The article explores the patriotic self-identification of high school students in the Siberian Federal District. The authors analyze the degree of their awareness and the nature of inclusion in the activities of patriotic organizations and projects. The mass survey of high school youth of the Siberian Federal District made it possible to determine the low patriotic identification of schoolchildren, as well as the weak inclusion in patriotic projects implementation. At the same time it was possible to record a tendency that as respondents grow older, the number of identifying themselves as patriots increases. Students have insufficient information about the implementation of patriotic projects. Less than half of them have ever participated in patriotic actions and events. School youth of the Siberian Federal District, like most young people of modern Russia, prefer short-term participation in patriotic events, such as visiting museums and patriotic exhibitions. The trend of increasing schoolchildren’s patriotic self-identification was recorded as the inclusion of patriotic projects increased. Also, among schoolchildren who have identified themselves to varying degrees as patriots, patriotic activity is increasing. Thus, there is a correlation between personal experience and the nature of patriotic identification. Consequently, it is necessary to consolidate the efforts of actors engaged in patriotic education in order to increase the positive experience of youth participation in patriotic projects. A condition that increases the positive perception of this activity may be its compliance with the values of modern youth and the organization of communication within the usual communicative practices for this social group.
