Abstract

The author of the article argues for the need to build a civil society based on the formation and development of the young generation of russians as a subject of sociocultural transformations or transformations of such a phenomenon of self-consciousness as civil identity. The article notes that modern conditions against the background of political modernization require active civic participation of every person, especially young people, so socio-economic reforms in Russia should be accompanied by activities to develop and form the civic identity of the younger generation, which will create a new type of interaction between society and government: close cooperation, real and constructive influence of the population on management decisions at all levels of government. The main method of forming a civil identity is to build a holistic phenomenological system (model) and determine effective socio-political mechanisms of action, only then will the result be tangible. Such mechanisms include the understanding of civil identity as a systemic phenomenon, which includes both the system of values of the individual and the political system in the development of the nation and civil society; the creation of an adequate state-public system of socialization and politicization of the younger generation; creation of a system of training qualified personnel ready for the effective formation of civil identity among the country's young generation; formation of all components of civil identity – cognitive, motivational and activity-based; use of the national experience of a multinational state, historical, cultural, social, political, economic and confessional characteristics of Russia; system integration of all subjects of civil society development in the country and interaction of all participants in the process of developing civil identity; introduction of a strategic concept for the formation of civil identity, focused on a systematic understanding of the laws of this political phenomenon and the possibilities of its change.
