It is indicated that today's time has a tragic character associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. Anxiety and grief unites the people of the Planet in search of salvation and survival. To a large extent, this depends on the political will of the government, on its political culture and the political culture of each individual. At the same time, the problems of forming a political culture of youth are ignored. The research methodology is based on a complex of methodological approaches: cultural, systemic, anthropological, civilizational. The main categories of research are analysed: politics and political culture. Recommendations are given on the practice of educating a new political culture. It is determined that in the modern interpretation, politics is a sphere of society’s life related to relations between social groups regarding the acquisition, organization, use of power and management of social processes, and political culture is a combination of positions, values and a code of conduct regarding mutual relations between authorities and citizen. The main characteristic features of the student age are determined, making it sensitive for the upbringing of political culture: the polysocial basis of manning; intellectual and social dynamism; temporality of status; the intensity of mutual communication; the tension of the search for the meaning of life.
