Abstract

This work studies modern social and political alternative forms of civic engagement of young people, to analyze their impacts on public life. The research methods used the analysis of statistical data presented on the official website of Rosmolodezh, content analysis of the news sections of the website, and the official page of the Vkontakte social network "Young Guard of United Russia", as well as the website "Presidential Grants Fund". For studying the practice of youth participation in local self-government, the authors conducted an empirical sociological study in October-December 2020. The data collection method is a questionnaire survey of young Russian people aged 14-30 totaling 2026 people. This work provides a meaningful assessment of some innovative formats of civic activities (social and political). The article describes the elements of the theory of youth civic engagement. The ideas about modern social and political alternative forms of youth civic engagement have been expanded. The facts characterizing the experience and the need for youth civic activities in various forms are stated. The classification of forms of civic engagement is presented.
