Evaluative representations of the student audience in the context of current processes in Donbas: comparison of studies

The article examines the features and trends in the views of the surveyed student audience in comparison with the general array of respondents regarding current socio-political processes in Russia. The results and conclusions are correlated and verified with All-Russian representative surveys and academic research on intergenerational differences in assessments and perceptions on similar topics. The article examines data on attitudes towards historical events, current socio-political processes, the conduct of a special military operation and partial mobilization, issues of self-identification, etc. The anonymous survey was conducted by means of "Anketolog" in May - June 2023 in different regions of Russia. Due to the difficulty of reaching respondents in new territories, the survey was conducted using the "snowball" method. The main research method is a comparative analysis of the data obtained using sociological information and relevant academic research. The analysis revealed that the views of the student audience (who showed interest to the survey) are characterized by a number of features. The responding group is politicized, adheres to individualistic positions. It is not ideologically homogeneous and has alternative judgments about historical events. First of all, we can identify those who positively assess modern processes and those who take critical positions. Accordingly, a dichotomy of opinions appears: some share the belief that Russia is a strong power with an independent path of development, while others see themselves as part of a European (global) civilization. The differences in views between the older generations and the youth are evidenced by All-Russian representative surveys and numerous scientific studies. In our opinion, the situation of opinion breakdown is exacerbated by the great immersion of modern youth in the digital environment, in which the algorithms of Internet media and social networks influence the nature and presentation of information.
