Formation of Traditional Russian Spiritual and Moral Values and Readiness of Youth Students to Accept them

Introduction. The objective is to establish the degree of readiness of young people to recognize the significance of traditional values in the development of modern society. Materials and Methods. A survey in the form of a questionnaire was used. противоThe survey was conducted in April–May 2024. 216 respondents participated, which is about 20% of the general sample. The authors employed random sampling. Among the respondents young men made up 48.1%, while girls — 51.9%. The age of the respondents is from 18 to 23 years old. Results and Discussion. Humanistic perceptions are widespread among the interviewed youth. They demonstrated recognition of the importance of material well-being. The value of patriotism in general needs increased recognition. The values of historical memory and service to the Fatherland received a low level of recognition. Factors directly related to the wellbeing of citizens are of high importance in the formation of patriotic consciousness. The verbal manifestation of religiousness is confirmed in less than a third of answers to the questions about its value and practical embodiment. Conclusions. Young people are aware of their own perceptions and value preferences, and critically perceive activities aimed at preserving and strengthening traditional Russian spiritual and moral values.
