Economist Yevgeny Gontmamer and sociologist Alexander Sogomonov launched the Project of the Millennialov Club. For six months they talked about the zoom with the Russians born from 1981 to 1996 to make a portrait of a generation. "Paper" retells the conclusions of researchers.

What is the article by Gontmamer and Sogomonov:

1. Millennials can make fun of “office slavery” and “ostentatious consumerism”. For this reason, some believe that this generation opens against capitalism. However, the millennials have their own idea of ​​success. They are configured for self -realization, but they still do not want to live in need.
2. Millennials advocate freedom, democracy, and the rule of law, but do not accept existing practices for their implementation in Russia and in the West. Presumably, the reason is the distrust of power and "total apoliticality."
3. If the millennials have a real interest, they forget about “political laziness”, however, in a collision with obstacles, they can again go into their senses. This generation, which is unlikely to want to change the political situation completely, but will try to return it to the "bosom of universal values."
4. Millennials do not shift the solution to the problems of inequality to the state - they themselves are involved in public life and become volunteers. Millennials are the first domestic generation of Empates.
5. The Russians born from 1981 to 1996 are free from "psychoidological ailments." They do not have a hostile attitude to the West or love for imperiality. At the same time, their cosmopolitanism is conditional, at home they still feel more comfortable.
