Description
Summary:Reports findings of surveys of both intended and actual voting by young people between 1993 and 1996. Outlines the political beliefs of Russian youth focusing on its attitudes in 1995 and 1996 and its views on the future. Concludes that young people retained their political allegiances during this period and are committed to democracy and radical reform. They constitute a progressive group in Russian society and their rejection of the national patriotic wing of politics is cause for optimism and hope for Russia's future.
