The current stage of development of Russian society is characterized by rather intense and serious socio-economic, industrial, legal and spiritual-moral changes. These changes, due to the characteristics of mental development, have the greatest impact on the personality of young people and their behavior. The paper considers the problem of the value orientation of contemporary youth in Russia. The psychological characteristics of the person have been determined, in relation to which various value orientations are formed from the point of view of E. Fromm’s concept, and their role in vocational formation. The authors have proved the integrity, the integration of the value system with other personality characteristics, as well as the differences in individuals regarding the orientation to “Being” or “Possession”. The conclusions have been drawn that the nature of the value orientation of young people in contemporary Russia is complex. Values are divided into blocks according to the spheres of human life and are subject to the more general law of their dominant orientation - “Being” or “Possession”. Accordingly, the nature of personality orientation determines the formation and development of value groups.

In modern Russian society, there is a deep gap between political activity and active political communication with young people, bringing information to this target audience. Political leaders are the force that is able to convey to people values and guidelines, the meaning of life, to show the way to the future, to lead for the implementation of the necessary changes in the social, political, and economic life of society. However, the established methods of communication are not effective, as a generation has grown up with different social ideas about political leaders and other communication needs. This article is devoted to the study of the interaction of political leaders with young people through the mass media at the current stage of development of Russian society. The paper considers the theoretical foundations of the research of the youth audience. As a result of a comprehensive study, the author revealed the awareness of young people about current politicians. The article takes as a basis the names of politicians from the top 100 most influential politicians in Russia, according to the Agency for Political and Economic Communications. The first part of the research is devoted to the study of the value orientations of modern youth. The paper reveals the problems in communication between modern politicians and young people, investigates the information channels used by young people to receive current political news. The most important source of political information for the youth audience is the Internet and social networks. This is due to the increasing role of social networks in the global communication processes in general, as well as the involvement of the youth audience in the media consumption of social network content. Young people see the greatest communication problems in the status and financial gap between current politicians and youth groups, as well as the difference in value orientations and the age barrier. For a comparative analysis of the data, the sample was divided according to the criteria of age (respondents were divided into three age groups) and gender.

The general education school is the most important link in the formation of value orientations and the value system of students, which is due to the general content of the educational goals of the school and the student's relationship with teachers, friends and other participants in school life. The school is of decisive importance from the point of view of the community of value orientations and the system of values of students, the inclusion of national and universal values in them, the solution of global problems of moral and aesthetic education, the formation of a single system of cognitive values. And how does mathematics or mathematical education affect a person's value orientation, the direction of his life? Can a person, in certain situations, give preference to similar values over other values? And what is the role of mathematics education in the value system of the student and the person as a whole? The answer depends on what we mean by mathematical education or what goals it pursues. If the process of teaching mathematics is reduced to teaching mathematics, then mathematics with its formal structure of lan- guage and abstract figures is far from life and school interests (with rare exceptions in each class for individual students). Mathematical knowledge also does not lead to wisdom and philosophy of life, it even reduces the stu- dent's vital activity. However, if the process of teaching mathematics is aimed at implementing education through mathematics, then the role of mathematics increases as a means of forming cognitive, aesthetic, moral, mental and other values. This view of mathematics gives the student the opportunity to appreciate the objects studied with the help of mathematics, to look at the world in a different way. He feels more confident in different real life situations. The article deals with the problem of the formation of value orientations of students in the process of teaching mathematics. The dependence of the problem on various types of internal and external factors in the formation of value orientations in this process is considered. The problem of the formation of different levels of value orientations in the process of teaching mathematics is also considered. These are the perception, response, or recognition of value, the acquisition of value orientations, the organization of value orientations and the spread of a value orientation or a set of orientations towards activity.

The article deals with sociological understanding of the value system of Russian young people and its role in ensuring spiritual and moral safety of the society. The authors of the article focus on priority importance of spirituality, morality for preservation of specifically human features in the individual and normal functioning of the society. The regulating function of the value-based system is manifested in the fact that values form the standards of cultural assessments in the youth community, determine the hierarchy of young people’s life goals and the choice of methods for achieving them. Any social changes may have both positive and negative character, in exactly the same way values acting as a catalyst for changing the consciousness of young people may become not only an accelerating factor of social transformations, but also a retarding one. Basing on the results of the analysis of the most important spiritual and moral values of young people, the authors of the article conclude that reappraisal of values is a complex and difficult process, and on the whole it is indicative of a low level of spiritual and moral safety. This is due to the fact that in the mass consciousness of Russian young people there take place processes of rethinking the facts of modern life, new changes, collapse of former ideals and orientations, and the search for new value orientations. The transitional period crisis, which has lasted for many years in the Russian society, and the destructive processes in all its spheres are the main reason why the problem of ensuring spiritual and moral safety in the context of the formation of moral capacities in young generations of Russians has long been urgent in our society.

The previously identified mechanism for formation of values and functioning of value orientations was transposed into the nucleus of the Pedagogical Model, which included the following components: behaviour, emotional states, attitudes, convictions, and values. In order to identify the methodology for forming value orientations in the formal, informal and non-formal educational environment, the principles of humanistic, constructivist and cognitivist education, strategies, conditions were highlighted, which ensure a dynamic progress in general development of the personality, implicitly of value orientations, and which is taken into account in framework ofa formative experiment.The data obtained from the validation of the developed Pedagogical Model confirmed its effectiveness and proved that it was a multidimensional one, which could be of great benefit to specialists in the field of Education Sciences and teachers from schools and higher educationalinstitutions.

The research featured the effect of collective and individual values of young people on their ideas about their motherland. The study was based on the following hypothesis: the ratio of collective and individual orientation is subject to fluctuations under the effect of socio-economic factors. They affect the specifics of young people's representations of Russia. The sample included students of Nizhny Novgorod aged 21–22. Of these, 120 participants (79 girls and 41 boys) were students in 2010 and 100 (62 girls and 38 boys) – in 2019. The research methods involved Schwartz’s values questionnaire and the method of free associations. The deterioration of the economic situation of most of the Russian society and the growth of foreign policy tensions proved to affect the values of young people. The students in the 2019 study had a more pronounced shift toward collective values than their peers in 2010. The lack of self-confidence suppressed the need for social recognition and increased the importance of reference groups. Students with a pronounced collective orientation had a focus on Russia's heroic past and traditions, as well as pessimistic and poorly formed views of the future. Students with an individual orientation demonstrated a greater optimism in their perception of the future of Russia, as well as a skeptical attitude to traditions and history. The study clarified the role of value orientation in shaping young people's representation of their country.
