Ageing Russia, revolution and youth-related problems

Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with the problem of Russia’s demographic decline and revival, the forecasts of the coming revolution, and relevant youth–related issues. It discusses results of the recent study conducted by the Department of Elite Studies of the Institute of Sociology of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Data of this survey and personal observations confirm the opinion about the absence of revolutionary stage in contemporary Russia, despite the involvement of a portion of youth in protest rallies which occurred in winter 2012/13 in the capital and big cities under the slogan “For honest elections!” The issue of youth violence is out of consideration. The issue of the US-Russia Relations (“from confrontation to cooperation) is slightly tackled.
