“…Of course, Russian scholars investigate specifi cs of the political culture and behavior of young people -in particular, their spiritual and moral values [5,6], political and ideological prefer-ences [7,8], and social identity [9,10]. Quite often, the focus of scholar's attention includes formats and motivation of the electoral and protest participation of youth [11][12][13][14], as well as models of the desired image of the future of Russia preferred by young people [15,16].…”

According to social surveys, the majority of Russian society as a whole supported the President’s decision to hold the special military operation (in what follows, the SMO). However, the level of this support appeared to be different for different social groups. It turned out, for example, that, compared with society in general, young people perceived the outbreak of hostilities more skeptical and critical. In this regard, this article is devoted to the analysis of the features and factors of formation of such an attitude of young people towards the SMO. Among other things, the views of young people about the causes of the outbreak of the conflict, its perpetrators and possible solutions are considered; the reaction of young citizens of the country to the entry into Russia of four new subjects, partial mobilization, as well as those who evade it is presented. Patterns are indicated according to which people’s media preferences affect the nature of their assessments of events within the framework of SMO. Probable reasons for the more skeptical attitude of the younger generation to what is happening are identified, and possible options for its further transformation in the short and long terms are indicated.

“…общественные волнения рассматривались как формы существования общественных движений (например, М. Зальдом, Р. Эшем), возникающие в результате объединения стихийных и неорганизованных реакций на социальное неравенство, резких изменений в социуме, то с 1970-х гг. протест определяется исследователями (теории политического процесса и мобилизации ресурсов; теория новых общественных движений [Buechler 2013;Ishkanian 2022] В начале XXI в. все чаще объектом научного изучения становятся молодежные протесты Романов, Мещерина, Коротаев 2021;Shentyakova, Grishin 2021;Renström, Aspernäs, Bäck 2021]. Так, к одному из ключевых факторов роста протестных настроений в социуме, наряду с другими, исследователи относят рост численности молодежи в демографической структуре [Горшков, Шереги 2020;Grasso, Giugni 2022].…”

In the last few years, great attention has been paid to the protest potential of students, especially in the context of the mass protests of 2021-2022, which happened at both federal and regional levels. An important scientific issue, which is of practical importance for public authorities and politicians, is determining the motivations and actualization of the student protest movements, as the most organized segment of the youth environment. Based on the results of 14 focus groups held in 8 border regions of Siberia and the Far East (including the Altai Krai, the Zabaykalsky Krai, the Primorsky Krai and the Khabarovsk Krai, the Omsk Oblast, as well as Tyva, Buryatia and Altai Republics) as well as the analysis of the social media and blogosphere of the mentioned regions, the author suggests that the students experience fears, weariness, and disappointment. However, the factors actualizing the protest moods are highly limited. Actual precedents and threats of criminal prosecution that have been applied to the political activists by the government since 2019, as well as the pressure from the authorities and the socialization agents, lead to the demoralization of the youth and their refusal to participate not only in protests but also in pro-government events.

In the article, protest sentiments are differentiated by the nature of constructiveness and conventionality. Destructive and unconventional protest sentiments often result in extremist and radical actions that pose a threat to the sustainable development of society. The protest youth is divided into activists, situational supporters and passive observers. The discourse analysis of modern scientific research has revealed the predominance of informational, social, political and psychological factors in the formation of protest sentiments. The researchers’ discursive proposals are compared with sociological data revealing the ideas of Russian youth about the necessary ways to develop social activity. Depending on the type of political orientation, potential strategies for the de-escalation of radical protest sentiment are determined.These strategies are based on public engagement and access to resources.
