Abstract

The purpose of the study is to identify the features of the opinion of representatives of three generations - X, Y and Z - in determining the social risks caused by new external and internal threats, while constructing the image of the future of Russia. The main methodological approach to the study of this topic is the activity approach, the essence of which is that the decisive role in modern societies is played by active social actors. In the course of the study, a scenario approach was used to determine the vectors of the future development of Russian society. The interdisciplinary nature of the research is dictated by the need to use specific empirical data, refer to the methodology of social philosophy, political science, and also take into account the peculiarities of socio-psychological analysis of the processes of personality identification. The empirical study was based on the theory of generations, developed by American scientists (Neil Howe and William Strauss) in the 20th century. The main empirical method was a questionnaire survey. The novelty of the research consists in studying the public opinion of different generations about the future of Russia, taking into account risks and threats (in the representation of these generations), extrapolating the results of empirical research to the process of constructing the image of the future of Russia. The scientific significance of the obtained results lies in the fact that by identifying the features of the world perception of the image of the future of Russia by different generations, it is possible to construct a generalized image that can become an integrating factor in the process of implementing the social activity of Russian citizens. The applied significance of the results of the study is that they will help social scientists in their further theoretical research, designing forecasts and scenarios for the future of Russian society, and modern politicians - in developing programs of social reforms.
