Abstract

The article attempts to assess some aspects of the system of patriotic education of young people in two regions of the Siberian federal district (SFD) – Krasnoyarsk krai (KK) and Irkutsk oblast (IO). The aim of the paper is to compare the quantitative results of the patriotic education work in the regions with the ideas of high-school children about the way such work should be organized. Thus, the nature of patriotic organizations and institutions engaged in patriotic education of young people is analyzed. The key patriotic activities are identified. The financing of patriotic programs and projects is compared. A comparative analysis of the number of participants of patriotic organizations, their involvement in Internet communications, through social networks is carried out. The results of the analysis show that the systems of patriotic education in the studied regions have different funding. At the same time, the number of patriotic education events is quite large and meet objectives of the “Patriotic education of citizens of the Russian Federation” federal project. However, despite the efforts made by the subjects of patriotic education, schoolchildren show poor awareness and involvement in patriotic events. Giving preference to the classical agents of patriotic education, schoolchildren still believe that patriotism should be developed without pressure from institutionalized subjects. They opt for watching feature films and reading patriotic literature as desired impact, while their experience is mostly limited by visiting museums of different levels. Innovations providing for values and expectations of the younger generation should be introduced to increase the effectiveness of the system of patriotic education and boost patriotic feelings among young people.
