Introduction . The relevance of the study is due to a number of factors, both external (global, general, universal) and internal (social, historical and cultural, value-based). The scale of the problem is also determined by the high level of confrontation in the world of value-based coordinate systems: moral, religious-anthropological and social. General uncertainty has actualized the problem of sociocultural factors’ influence on the transformation of value-based orientations of Russian youth.

The results of the necessary integration of the resources of the influence of state youth policy and educational potential in the formation of a system of values and worldviews among young people are provided. It has been proven that in the scope of the axiological approach and with the help of effective pedagogical tools, it is possible to create conditions for the formation of Russian identity.
