Modern youth in the context of socio-cultural influence of subcultural communities (the case of the Republic of Adygea)

Introduction. In modern society the number of destructive manifestations in the youth environment is growing. In this regard, it seems necessary to develop a toolkit that allows for operational monitoring of large groups of people in order to identify a tendency to antisocial behavior among young people. The relevance of the chosen research topic is due to the spread of destructive tendencies in youth subcultures, as evidenced by the materials of digital media, which raises many questions and requires an analysis of the causes, factors and consequences of such a phenomenon. The methods of content analysis, socio-cultural analysishave been used, the materials of the media, digital space, as well as the results of an empirical study conducted among the youth of the Republic of Adygea have been analyzed.

The results. The level of involvement of the youth of the Republic of Adygea in the activities of subcultures promoting the ideology of violence and neo-Nazism can be assessed as low, despite the existence of isolated cases of its manifestation.

Discussion and conclusion. One of the main reasons for the popularity of subcultures among young people is the search for identity and integration into a reference community. In the context of rapidly changing socio-economic situations, a sense of uncertainty and the search for their place in the world, young people may be inclined to join groups that promise strength, unity and clear values. The involvement of young people in the activities of destructive subcultures as one of the most dangerous types of groups promoting violence and neo-Nazism requires an integrated approach from the state, educational institutions, public organizations and families.
