Students’ movements of Russia in the era of globalization

Abstract

In today's world young people become the object of close attention from various socio-political forces, since an unformed worldview and insufficient experience in social and political analysis represent the very field where one can try to nurture the most exotic interpretations of the reality surrounding us. This article attempts to show the specifics of youth activism in the age of globalization using the example of youth movements for human dignity. In our opinion, stimulating and supporting young people's civic engagement, whether spontaneous or organized into youth movements, has the greatest potential to successfully mobilize young people toward purposeful, conscious and active participation in society and the state. We are convinced that virtually all pro-social youth movements are in one way or other movements for human dignity.
