The article presents an important area of research into the formation of civic identity in the younger generation, where the focus is put on the personality and features of forming and developing civil consciousness in a situation of socio-economic and political instability caused by transformation processes in all spheres of life in modern Russia. The article aims at a political scientific analysis of the socio-cultural factors in the formation of the civil identity of the young Russians during the period of social and cultural transformation in modern Russia. The article emphasizes the role of state power in the development of civil consciousness of the Russians (educational and youth policy), presents a study to identify factors that influence the formation of civic identity, according to teachers of educational establishments and university lecturers. The issue of the Internet influence on the developing personality is outlined, as the features of the online social communications era are the displacement of the traditional value scale and fundamental social structures of personal development, constant “experimentation” of the younger generation's own identity, the predominance of the subjective component of identity in the overall structure of the younger generation's self-consciousness. Therefore, family, education, youth policy of the state, and public institutions are the space of systemic formation of the youth civic identity, aimed at the preservation of historical memory, culture, and traditions of the state. The author proves that only systemic integration of all subjects in the country's civil society development, while in the long period of transformation, as well as the interaction of all participants of the process in the integral national system of forming the civic identity of the young Russians, will allow to have a developed, active and stable civil society.
