In recent years, the state has paid special attention to the formation of the national identity of young people.

The autonomous non-profit organization "Innovative Center for the Development and Education of Children and Youth" has developed a complex Model of the political socialization of Russian youth by the institutions of civil society, which includes detailed theoretical and practice-oriented parts and is designed to become a key methodological material in the field of socio-patriotic work with youth of non-profit civil organizations. organizations. The developed Model has been successfully tested for six years on the example of ten All-Russian Internet contests of a patriotic orientation and can be recommended for use in the work of a wide range of Russian civil society institutions.
