Abstract

The article analyses the meanings of attitudes towards the homeland in the cultural space of Russian youth. Some of the semantic components of the relationship to the motherland are largely associated with the history of the Russian people and find their expression in the national character in the form of spiritual and moral values. These basic components are reflected in the normative documents governing the upbringing of the younger generation. The role of such values is the fulfillment of moral duty to the Motherland in the form of service to it and readiness to defend it. Another part of the semantic components of attitudes towards the Motherland is formed within the framework of youth subcultures. These meanings are born in the process of young people's reconsideration of their attitude to this phenomenon. The result of this process is a reconstruction of social reality by youth groups according to their symbolic universes. The article analyzes the data obtained during sociological study on the relationship between mental and modern traits of national character with the deviant meaning of the image of the motherland in the cultural space of young people. It is noted that contemporary traits are more connected with the deviant meaning of forming attitudes towards the homeland than with mental traits.
