During the mass riots in Moscow and St. Petersburg, many noticed that most of the radical youth, who came out with nationalist slogans on the streets of Russian cities and participated in fights, were minor people and teenagers.
Among those who took part in the riots there were many girls - another phenomenon of time.
On the one hand, all this is shocking, on the other, it has an explanation. This is the result of the long efforts of all those who have created such a moral and cultural atmosphere in the country. So the generation has grown, which is little understanding, dissolved and aggressive. Considering himself patriotic, but in reality - nationalist. And they were brought to the street, not an “bad” example of a liberal opposition, which Vyacheslav Surkov’s deputy head of the administration Vyacheslav Surkov accused her of an interview with Izvestia, and the neglect of interethnic problems and for many years cultivated anger to the “enemies of Russia”, issued for “patriotic education”.
I recently watched the Franco Italo-German film "Lucien Lakomb." During the occupation of France, the seventeen -year -old village guy, working in the hospital, is ill with lack of demand and boredom. He wants to go to partisans, but he is not taken by age. Then, at the first accidental opportunity, he goes to work in the Gestapo.
A teenager is a gutta creature, he, as one philosopher noted, stretched out like a train, and exhausted, running along his head to tail.
The teenager is cruel because he is not fully aware of what he does. For the same reason, he is fearless. He is clamped and shy, but demonstrative. Often it expresses in a scream.
The teenager is as if in the dressing room of adulthood. They undress with him, but they do not take with them the closed door. Therefore, he peeps and speculates, to the best of his own imagination. He strives in this adult life - to freedom. There are no other advantages in it.
When the child turns into a teenager, he can no longer be perceived as a soft toy or ball. It is necessary to reckon with him, he must spend a lot of time and mental strength on him.

What to do? It has long been known that it is more difficult to re -educate than to educate. Everything is very running. But, while not yet very late, it is necessary, firstly, to realize the scale of the disaster. Secondly, to exclude, as in a strict diet, from the lexicon of adult educators any aggressive calls and words-such as “enemies” and the like. On the contrary, the priorities of communication should be tolerance and cultural dialogue. To try to fulfill this, you need to at least change the "mentors" of youth, radically revise the television policy and finally engage in genuine enlightenment.
Handing people have one feature: they want to be better than they have to be. This desire, by the way, disappears with age. Recently, one of them said: “I live normally, like everyone else. But, of course, I want it differently. The only question is, can I? " So-differently-many want, but units will cope without outside help. In defense, smart council, sensitive majority needs sensitive participation.
Not in flirting, but in respect. And do not forget, as Dostoevsky said, that "generations are created from adolescents."
