The influence of values on the formation of political trust among Russian youth

The study of the relationship between the value sphere of youth and trust in political power is extremely relevant today. The aim of the research is to study the phenomenon of political trust in the aspect of value orientations among Russian youth. The study carried out diagnostics of the young generation of Russians living in different regions of the Russian Federation, aged 18 to 34 years. In the study's course, the value structure of modern Russian youth was determined, the level of political trust was established, and the influence of values on the formation of political trust among modern Russian youth was analyzed. Values such as “Reputation”, “Universalism: Tolerance” and “Benevolence: A sense of duty” have the strongest influence on trust in power. The value of material goods negatively affects the formation of trust by the authorities.
