| The next issue of Otechestvennye Zapiski is dedicated to Russian youth. Which, as it turned out, and this was a surprise for the editors, does not exist. Not in the biological sense, of course - we have exactly as many young people as there should be, but in the sociological sense: the corresponding age category does not show signs of a separate social group. That is, he does not have a special life position, values, behavior, or organization. This is a purely Russian phenomenon, and psychologists, sociologists, and economists working on the problems of Russian youth observe many such anomalies (in particular, the blatant apoliticality of our young fellow citizens). Abstracts of the three articles that appear on this page give an idea of the range of issues covered in the issue. |
