“…Basically, as a trend, researchers record such digital practices of young people that are implemented outside of formally existing political institutions, namely, the representation of citizenship through a post on social networks; ignoring information, repost or comment on the network (for example, in response to messages of an extremist nature); consumption and discussion of news on the Internet, viewing political talk shows, battles, etc. and participation in online discussions; online protest organization, virtual flash mobs, petition activity; practices of "small deeds", volunteering, as well as deliberate disregard of the political agenda [14,15,16,17,18].…”

The relevance of the proposed research is, firstly, based on the complexity of youth as an object of study (indefinite age limits and a high level of youth individualization make it difficult to research the identification of practices). Secondly, how virtualization and mediatization effect new political practices in the digital space, including blogosphere, comparisoning it with continuing real political passivity of the Russian youth. As part of the study, digital political practices are considered as a form of interaction in the blogosphere resulting in the reproduction and transfiguration of political relations by young people, the acquisition of civic identity and the realization of civic agency. The purpose of the study is to identify the repertoire of digital political practices of young people. The focus of this study was youth YouTube-channels that occupy top places in the national rating. The study revealed that the youth environment is a non-politicized vlog segment with the audience from 5 to 14 million subscribers (opposed to 1-5 million for the vlogs, dedicated directly to political personalities and events). It was defined the repertoire of digital political practices of young people according to the analysis of video with Russian YouTube top bloggers. We may state their peripheral and marginal nature with the risk of destructive exposure.

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.

“…Так, те исследователи, которые говорят А. Н. Кравцова ГОСУДАРСТВО И ОБЩЕСТВО о молодежи как объекте, обращаются к анализу участия молодежи в традиционных формах проявления гражданства (выборы, членство в партиях). Другие наблюдают рост активности молодежи в ином формате [Lister et al, 2003;Harris et al, 2010;Henn et al, 2002], предлагая переключить внимание с традиционного участия молодежи в политике и в общественной жизни и перейти к анализу ее новых форм включения [Harris, 2007;Krupets et al, 2017]. Принципиально важное значение здесь имеет распространение интернета, позволяющее молодым людям отслеживать глобальные тренды и включаться в них [Shirky, 2009;Bennett, 2003].…”

“…Результаты некоторых количественных исследований показывают, что молодежь становится апатичной, аполитичной [Меркулов и др., 2015: 143], в то время как другие говорят об изменении самого формата гражданского участия [Петухов и др., 2014: 13;Поливаева, Беленикин, 2016: 86;Касамара, Сорокина, 2012;Krupets et al, 2017;Желнина, 2014]. Результаты исследований, выполненных в парадигме качественной социологии, акцентируют новые, уникальные формы молодежного участия, включая и новые вопросы актуальных для молодежи повесток и способов решения значимых проблем, что часто может не совпадать с заданными ориентирами, предлагаемыми «взрослыми» представителями общества.…”

The paper is devoted to the analysis of youth’s understanding of citizenship which includes young people’s self-identification as citizens, peculiarities of youth interpretations of the notion of citizen and the practices of citizenship implementation. The article describes transformations of the understanding of citizenship in youth environment through the analysis of young people’s settings, preferences, social participation practices and involvement in activist communities, perceptions of events which happen in their city, country or in the world, as well as motives of their engagement with youth movements. The empirical basis of the study is the data of several projects conducted by the Center for Youth Studies from 2011 to 2017. Each of these projects aimed at studying specific transformations of solidarity youth movements - pro-Kremlin movements, using qualitative methods, namely overt observation, in-depth biographical interviewing and partly the case-study method.
