The problem of modern youth's perception of the state as a traditional political value: a political analysis

the article summarizes the main results of a study on the perception of the state as a traditional political value by modern youth. The methodological basis of the study was the dialectical principles of objectivity, consistency and historicism. The author of the article pays special attention to political consciousness as an important definition for building a theoretical and methodological basis for the study of political socialization. The interpretation of political consciousness as a core component of political culture and a modern methodological requirement for the study of political socialization of youth is given. The article concludes that the functionality of political consciousness in the individual dimension serves as a means of providing research on political socialization with reliable cognitive guidelines and allows us to reveal the property and quality of a personality, a «political person» capable of perceiving politics in one way or another, evaluating it more or less accurately and acting relatively purposefully politically. According to the author of the article, this approach expands the possibilities of perceiving youth as an internal political resource and a social group responsible for the future of the country.
