Abstract

As the Russian society becomes more modernized, the Putin regime’s ability to survive new challenges is increasingly in question. One particular challenge is the growing discrepancy between the regime's policies and the expectations and attitudes of the younger generation. I will present the results of the study of the Russian youth (16-34 y.o.) from big cities we ran with Levada in late 2019. We have found that younger generations are much less paternalistic than older groups, more likely to support minority rights and have more positive attitudes toward the West. They also display higher civic engagement levels (especially, female respondents, university-educated, with knowledge of at least one foreign language and those whose main information sources are not state-owned TV channels). Our most important finding is that higher engagement levels strongly correlate with indicators of "openness to the world"- including knowledge of foreign language, political interest and traveling abroad. These results have important policy implications.
