Priority Value Orientations of the Moscow Student

The article presents the results of the preliminary stage of a research project to study the values of student youth. The goal was to determine the current state of the ideological sphere of students in order to increase the effectiveness of the national youth policy and, as a result, provide students with the opportunity to demonstrate their subjectivity. The empirical basis of the study was a series of semi-formalized interviews conducted in September-October 2022 with bachelors from a number of prestigious universities in Moscow (n=178) majoring in political science, federal and municipal administration, and management. The conclusions drawn during the study testify to the actualization of the axiological crisis experienced by today’s youth. This crisis is characterized not so much by originality as by the coverage of both virtual environments and real areas of activity. The assessment of the situation by the young people allows researchers to start looking for mechanisms to optimize value orientations.
