“…(e.g. AiF 10.06.2015) The need to defend "fortress Russia", internalised in Russian citizens' vision of geopolitics, (Kasamara and Sorokina, 2017) was either implicitly or explicitly narrated as the core justification for the "foreign agents" law. "If we had no nuclear weapons, America would have brought its democracy to us a long time ago", claimed the actor Aleksandr Adabash'yan in a 2012 interview to Argumenty i Fakty (AiF 8.8.2012) If the perception of Russia under attack was present already in 2012 when the first "foreign agent" law was passed, the crisis in Ukraine in 2014 and the following deterioration of relations between the EU and Russia is strongly pronounced in the data.…”

“…The Rose Revolution in Georgia (2003), the Tulip Revolution in Kyrgyzstan (2005), the Arab Spring in Egypt (2011) and the student movements in Taiwan (2014), as well as the protests against corruption in Bulgaria (2013), Ukraine (2014), and Romania 2017, are just a few recent examples of student activism that resulted in social change (Altbach, 2016;Denisova-Schmidt et al, 2015;Klemenčič, 2014). In Russia, where the Putin generation is often viewed as infantile and apolitical (Kasamara and Sorokina, 2017;Volkov, 2017), the recently increased participation of youth in anti-corruption rallies is particularly interesting and controversial.…”

Combining experimental evidence with machine learning to assess anti-corruption educational campaigns among Russian university students

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This paper examines how anti-corruption educational campaigns affect the attitudes of Russian university students towards corruption and academic integrity. About 2,000 survey participants were randomly assigned to one of four different information materials (brochures or videos) about the negative consequences of corruption or to a control group. Using machine learning to detect effect heterogeneity, we find that various groups of students react to the same information differently. Those who commonly plagiarize, who receive excellent grades, and whose fathers are highly educated develop stronger negative attitudes towards corruption in the aftermath of our intervention. However, some information materials lead to more tolerant views on corruption among those who rarely plagiarize, who receive average or above average grades, and whose fathers are less educated. Therefore, policy makers aiming to implement anti-corruption education at a larger scale should scrutinize the possibility of (undesired) heterogeneous effects across student groups.

“…За последние годы в рамках социологии молодежи накоплен большой опыт изучения мировоззренческих оснований саморегуляции молодежи (Чупров, 2017; Шаповалова, Кисленко, 2018; Саморегуляция в молодежной среде…, 2022) и ее жизненных стратегий, что «способствует углубленному пониманию смыслов, определяющих направленность ее жизнедеятельности» (Зубок, 2020: 35). Кроме того, проведено значительное количество исследований об отношении молодежи к политике, восприятии ею политических процессов, ее политических установках, ориентациях и настроениях (Kasamara, Sorokina, 2017;Самаркина и др., 2018;Попова, Лагутин, 2019;Петухов, 2020;Шашкова и др., 2021). Тем не менее, наблюдается определенный дефицит предметных теоретических разработок и осуществленных на их основе эмпирических исследований собственно политической морали, а конкретнее -моральных приоритетов молодых граждан как регуляторов их политической активности и поведения в социальнополитической реальности.…”

In modern socio-humanitarian science, there is a certain lack of research on the moral priorities of young Russian citizens as regulators of their life in the state and society. The study presented in the article was aimed at identifying the political values, ethical representations and attitudes of young people that guide them in assessing the sphere of politics and in their relationships with the state and other political actors. The theo-retical and methodological basis of the study was the political-psychological ap-proach, in which values, ideas and attitudes are considered from psychological posi-tions in the structure of moral and political consciousness. The empirical basis of the study was the materials of the All-Russian questionnaire survey and focus group dis-cussions with young people conducted in 2020-21. The results of the study show that young people consider moral values and norms to be a measure of political relations, albeit a rather relative one. It imposes on politicians the moral demands of sincerity, honesty, work for the benefit of citizens, concern for the public interest. Young peo-ple leave politicians the right to make mistakes, they are ready to forgive politicians for many mistakes, except for those that are associated with a threat to life and health of people and have serious consequences. Young people consider corruption, wars and violence, violation of laws and rights of citizens to be immoral actions in politics themselves. The meaning-forming foundations of the moral assessment of the sphere of politics by young people are the political values of freedom, human rights, justice, security, self-realization. Young people's representations about duty are differentiat-ed: they recognize the duty of a person, but reject the duty of a citizen. Young people are not ready to take responsibility for others, and sometimes for themselves too. They place the responsibility for providing public goods and satisfying their needs on the state. This reflects paternalistic attitudes, traditional for our political culture. The political morality of youth is contradictory and often relativistic.
