Introduction. Memories of past events often become objects of political manipulation, when the interpretation of events that are significant for Russian history turns out to be dependent on the political preferences and attitudes of public actors. Manipulations are aimed primarily at schoolchildren and university students, them being the most active part of society with significant protest potential. The article, based on the study conducted, systematizes the representations of past events in the collective memory of young people in the multiethnic regions of the Volga Federal District (Russia) to evaluate the influence of alternative ethnic and regional narratives on the state and potential development of the ethno-confessional situation in the regions under examination. Materials and Methods. The study was based on the materials of a mass sociological survey conducted among students (n = 1,246, October 2020), in the Republic of Mordovia, Chuvash Republic and the Republic of Tatarstan. First- and second-year students of the largest universities of the republics were interviewed. To identify regional differences, respondents who came from other countries and regions were excluded from the data obtained. Results. The results of the mass survey conducted among young people in the Republic of Mordovia, Republic of Tatarstan and the Chuvash Republic have revealed the fragmented perception of Russian history. In the historical memory of the youth living in the ethnic regions of the Volga Federal District, significant events of the Soviet past have dominated, although in some cases they have been perceived and reconsidered through the prism of ethno-confessional practices. At the same time, alternative ethnic and regional narratives that could negatively affect the socio-political situation in the republics have practically not been captured in the historical consciousness of the youth. Discussion and Conclusion. At the present stage, the regional symbolic memory policies of all three republics do not fundamentally contradict the memory policies of the federal center. The results of the study will be useful to social scientists, as well as public figures engaged in youth policy.

The experience of implementing the state youth policy on the scale of individual subjects of the country, which has its own regional specifics and ethno-confessional features, is of scientific interest. In this regard, the article examines individual pages of implementing the youth policy in the Chuvash Republic (ChR) in the 1990s – early 2000s on the basis of diverse sources and research literature. Separately, the author focuses on some aspects of educational work, creative self-realization of young people and student self-government. The article provides information on the state policy formation, which is reflected in the adoption of a number of laws and regulations governing its activities. It is noted that in order to directly implement the youth policy on the ground, state and municipal government bodies were created to address the issues of the younger generation. As a result, the Ministry of Education and Youth Policy of the Chuvash Republic became the main authority in this area of work, which became the legal successor of the Ministry of Education of the Chuvash Republic and the State Committee for Youth Affairs of the Republic. As a result, the author comes to the conclusion that in the 1990s – early 2000s, the educational institutions of the republic developed an independent system of work with the student community, which was reflected in the emergence of student councils, trade union committees, clubs, scientific societies. Their main task was to organize leisure activities for young people in order to improve their intellectual and creative level. The developed set of measures in the form of state youth awards of Chuvashia, as well as scholarships for representatives of the youth and students of the Republic for special creative aspiration created conditions for the selection and further creative self-expression of talented young people.

Currently, one of the most important socio-economic problems in the world is youth unemployment. Many scientists are engaged in the analysis of this problem, it is considered in the UN Development Programs, the last of which noted that today the world is home to the largest number of young people in the history of mankind. An important issue is the definition of the essential characteristics of the concept of “youth”, since at present there is no single international definition of the age group of young people. For statistical purposes, the age limits for young people are set by the UN Convention and are 15–24 years old. In Russia, before the adoption of the Federal Law “On Youth Policy in the Russian Federation” in 2020, the population aged from 16 to 30 years was considered young, and after the adoption of the Law – from 14 to 35 years. Rosstat annually analyzes the age groups of the population by various parameters: number, education, employment, unemployment, etc., and also calculates indicators, including the level of youth unemployment, the ratio of the level of youth unemployment to the level of unemployment among the adult population. An important aspect of the analysis is the regional level. In many regions of Russia, the situation on the labor market due to the coronavirus pandemic is characterized by instability. It is noted that at the end of 2020, the unemployment rate increased in 82 regions and the highest rates in Ingushetia, the Chechen Republic, and the Republic of Tyva. The problem of modern society is a large proportion of young people who do not study and do not work. Young people have great potential, but despite this, they are experiencing difficulties in finding employment, as a result, the number of NEET youth who are exposed to social exclusion and poverty is growing. The European program “Youth in Action” addresses the problems of young people through the interaction of labor markets and educational services. An important factor that reduces youth unemployment is education.

The article raises the problem of preserving national identity in the context of hybridisation / universalisation of the values ​​of the Russian youth. In this regard, the concept of "historical memory" is applied to the data of two studies carried out in schools and five universities (both at the capital and regional level). The purpose of the article is to assess the content and vector of historical knowledge of students about their country, the attitude to this knowledge among young people and adolescents at different educational levels. The process of continuity of school and university education in the national history is considered, the points of breaks are revealed. A general assessment is given on which periods of Russian history retain the connection with the young generations of Russians, and on which ones go into the past, revealing the main narratives of historical memory. The main conclusions are as follows: 1. the continuity and general assessment among schoolchildren and university students is maintained in relation to at least two events in the Russian history - the Great Patriotic War of 1941–45 and the historical figure of Peter I as the first emperor of Russia, who turned the country to the West and made a breakthrough in its modernization; 2. there is a gap in historical memory in relation to events associated with the period of Ancient Rus, a connection with the Soviet past is revealed; schoolchildren even single out the Soviet period as the most interesting and memorable; 3. there are gaps in the continuity of historical knowledge at the level of school and university education, this concerns, for example, such an event as “the annexation of Crimea to Russia in 2014”; 4. among schoolchildren dominates (58%) a group of students who are proud of the country history, whilst there is a group of those who are indifferent to their history or express negative assessments (8%) and have a neutral attitude to the history of Russia (34%), there is a high percentage (76%) of those who believe that there are different events in the history of Russia and it is important to remember the “dark” pages of one´s own history; 5. as a result, we see young people behaving differently depending on the age, who, for some reason, began to doubt their country and are ashamed of its past, but at the same time are ready to participate in the country's transformations.

The territorial image is formed both purposefully by the subjects of image-making, and spontaneously-based on the influence of information content published in various media. The purpose of the research is to analyze the image of the Republic of Mordovia in the information space of the Volga Federal district. The image of the territory formed by external target audiences by means of news materials is studied using the method of case study and content analysis of publications: “Volga news”, “Federal Press” news of the PFD, “Pravda PFD”. The authors conclude that modern reality is perceived through the prism of the information field created by mass media. The media creates images filled with certain data, facts, colored by emotions, on the basis of which representations, opinions, judgments, and assessments are subsequently formed. The media play a significant role in shaping the territorial image, especially for external target audiences who are not familiar with the region and do not have their own assessment knowledge and experience. Most of the information content about the Republic in the studied media is related to the main thematic blocks: politics, economy, social sphere, culture (art, sports). Moreover, if in the publications “Volga news” and “Pravda PFD” mention of the region prevails in the economic block, then in the publications “Federal Press” and “Nezavisimaya Gazeta” - in the political one. The Volga news publication significantly dominates the rest in terms of the number of publications about Mordovia. The content of publications is mostly positive and neutral related to the issues of economic development of the territory and the preparation and holding of the world football championship. Pravda PFD mentions the Republic in the context of news from neighboring territories, most of the publications date back to 2018, but here the context is related to the Republic's positions among the regions of the PFD in various ratings. The publication “Federal-Press” forms a generally reflective image of the territory, focusing on the negative aspects of regional life. “Nezavisimaya Gazeta”, giving priority to political news, maintains a neutral and reflective context of publications, paying attention to the key problems of the territory. Thus, the desired image of the region is counter-dictated to the image broadcast by the media through various information channels, so it is necessary to constantly monitor the information space and timely correction of the broadcast materials.
