FORMATION OF THE POTENTIAL OF THE YOUTH IN NEW SYSTEM OF SOCIAL AND CULTURAL COORDINATES

Political realities of the recent years have laid bare the issue of the youth growing activity evident at various levels and characterized by sharp imperatives in respect of bodies of power and existing public institutions and poorly regulated by the operative political instruments. The government attitude towards youth is being transformed largely under the influence of multiple factors, among them: geopolitical factors, the country’s stability on the international arena, stability of the national, cultural and confessional situations, as well as social and economic growth. Aggregation of these factors or rather their disharmony results in the growth of protest activity that swung up in the first decade of the 2000s on the political map of the former USSR and primarily in Georgia, Ukraine and Kirgizia and proved that the striking force of “colored revolutions” is youth. During this period, a great potential of passionarity was rapidly formed in the consciousness of the young generation capable of spontaneous or regulated strong outbursts of its forces and impulses within the coordinates of their country’s political space.

Key words: youth, politics, government regulation, culture, society, power.

ETHNO-CONFESSIONAL MILITARY UNITS AS THE MOST IMPORTANT MECHANISM FOR THE FORMATION OF NATIONAL IDEOLOGY: HISTORIC EXPERIENCE AND PERSPECTIVES

Formation of national ideology in the Russian military construction has always been problematic and has been rather efficiently resolved through various means. Its content today is most complex from the military and political, social and economic points of view and is primarily caused by the lack of the government’s coordination in the formation of outlooks of the future country defenders and practically the defenders themselves. As a result, we witness widening differences between the outlooks of different soldiers, inter-ethnic and religious contradictions, including, those among kinsmen from different tribes or families, non-manual relations and ethnic crimes. The author in her article describes peculiarities and perspectives of formation of the national ideology through the formation of ethno-confessional military units.

Key words: national ideology, ethno-confessional military units, national formations, national guard, ethno-confessional peculiarities of the military, ethno-confessional stability in the army, nationals officer cadre, nationals officer training schools.
