On the issue of the need to diagnose the tolerance formation among managerial students in the socio-economic instability period

We live in a world that is constantly changing, where big and small changes become more and more unpredictable and dramatic. Historical forecasts and past experience lose their relevance and are rarely used as a basis for predicting future events. It is almost impossible to plan investments, development and growth. This situation of uncertainty provokes an increase in irritation and the search for those responsible for instability, which contributes to the growth of manifestations of racial, ethnic and social intolerance. The system of higher education is called upon to form tolerance among future managerial specialists, as representatives of the profession working in the “man-man” system. It is no coincidence that the President of the Russian Federation V.V. Putin announced 2023 the year of the teacher and the mentor. The aim of research is to study tolerance according to the methods used at the Krasnoyarsk State Agrarian University. The authors consistently have been solving the following tasks: to consider the concept of “tolerance”; to diagnose the level of formation of tolerance among managerial students for the subsequent development of methods for the formation of tolerance. The research methodology included observation, analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, generalization, questioning, subject-activity approach, cross-cultural approach. The object of the study was the level of formation of tolerance among managerial students of part-time education at the Krasnoyarsk State Agrarian University. As a result of the study, tolerance levels were determined depending on the gender and age of the respondents. An assessment of the level of ethnic and social tolerance, as well as tolerance as a personality trait, is presented. Tension towards ethnic migrants is revealed, based on the understanding that this category of people has no desire to integrate into the society that accepts them. The necessity of monitoring and formation of tolerance in various strata of society is substantiated.
