Sociocultural Deviations as a Factor of Disintegration of Russian Youth in the Sphere of Civil-Political Relations in the Changing Reality

The purpose of the research. The article considers socio-cultural deviations as a factor of disintegration of Russian youth in the sphere of civil-political relations. It is noted, that in the conditions of transitional society the dysfunctionality of social institutions is accompanied by the emerging social restrictions for self-realization of young people. As a result, the processes of rethinking the attitude to the sphere of civil-political relations are intensifying in the youth environment. Sociocultural deviations in the changing reality are presented in the form of semantic deviations, which reflect the subject’s attitude to the sphere of civil-political relations, built on the principles of disintegration. Conclusions. In the course of the conducted sociological research and structural and taxonomic modelling in the sociocultural space of young people the deviation was found, which combines narrowly pragmatic and cynical principles of interaction of young people with the state and with surrounding people. At the core of this sociocultural deviation are the meanings that allow the practice of breaking the law and treating the state solely as a “trough”. On the peripheral layers of deviation are the meanings that allow the use of physical force against opponents, the use of corrupt schemes in interaction with the state and justify the prideful superiority over people who have not achieved success in life. The authors conclude that it is necessary to apply the system-activity approach in the process of regulating the life activities of young people in the sphere of civil-political relations.
