Patriotic Education in the Era of Change: Perception and Attitude of Students of Moscow Universities
https://doi.org/10.31992/0869-3617-2025-34-5-49-66
Abstract
One of the most important tasks of the state youth policy in modern Russia is the formation of a harmonious, socially responsible and patriotic personality. A special place in this process is given to the organization of educational work in universities in general, and patriotic education in particular. Based on the results of a specific sociological study among students of more than fifty universities in Moscow, the article identifies vectors for improving youth policy in the field of organizing patriotic education in universities. It was found that among the sources of information about patriotic events at universities, both agents of direct, interpersonal communication (teachers, classmates) and indirect (distant) virtual communication (social networks, university website) are equally important for respondents. The significant role of humanities disciplines in the formation of the patriotic consciousness of students has been confirmed. It was determined that the overwhelming majority of respondents are interested in patriotic events. However, more than half of the respondents also have a request to change the package of these measures. And most of all, there is a need for contacts with bearers of authentic, emotional experience of heroism, the formation of the Spirit, working with documents in archives and participating in historical reconstructions. Moreover, this request exceeds the request to participate in mass events and transfer them to the virtual space.
