Summary/Abstract: Using the results of a mass survey carried out in the Republic of Tatarstan, we analyze the self-identification characteristics of the representatives of various generations of contemporary Russian society. These characteristics are regarded as a subjectified element of the collective memory of these generations. To describe the qualitative essence of generations whose socio-cultural experience was shaped in a certain historical period, we refer to the entelechy of a generation category. The discursive analysis of the self-evaluations obtained during the survey from the representatives of different age cohorts allowed us to identify specific entelechies of generations of Russian society.
