Excerpt from the book "post -Soviet youth: preliminary results" The authors of the collective monograph, headed by Lev Gudkov, became interested in two generations of post -Soviet youth: those who grew up at the moments of the collapse of CCCR, and those who have grown up, while the authoritarian regime was stronger. Sociologists address their heroes a wide range of questions: how do they relate to the Soviet past, to the west, representatives of other social groups, etc.?
