In today's unstable world, young people are beginning to realize the need to actively participate in political the life of society and the implementation of social projects.
Different studies have been made devoted to the role of the youth in the development of the modern society. One of the researches is K. Mannheim, who was intensively engaged in education, upbringing, analysis of youth problems in modern society, he wrote about the need to use human resources of this category during the period of social transformation. In his opinion, only a society will be dynamic and viable, in which the older and middle generation cooperates with young people.
К. Mannheim, analyzing the social function of youth in society, noted two very important points: first, the problem of using youth "depends each time on the nature and social structure of the society", and second, belief in the progressivity of young people can
be false, because young people can be carried away by both conservative and reactionary movements [1].
A special function of youth in society, according to the author, is that "they are a reviving intermediary, a kind of reserve, who comes to the fore when such a revival becomes necessary to adapt to rapidly changing or qualitatively new circumstances".
Young people's lack of a stable status, "spirit of adventure", openness and propensity to innovation can be fruitfully used to "implement various initiatives" and, possibly, for the organization of new socio-political youth associations, which in the future may become the foundation of civil society and democratically of Russia's oriented political system.
In the 2000s, global crises were observed, As a result, politicians are beginning to look for reserves for the social and socio-political development of society. This is what young people can become.
In this situation, young people should clearly see and understand their place and role in social and political processes and relations. Only then can we expect an increase in the level of its activity, an interest in what is happening, a desire to participate in social change.
It is necessary to understand that nowadays it is necessary to unite an individual and society with the help of legitimate socially significant intermediaries (in our case - youth organizations). The living history of our society - the Russian experience of working with young people - is now of interest for sociological reflection.
Young people should act as subjects of public relations. Youth subjectivity is understood as the ability of young people with personal qualities to implement them in active involvement in certain social activities in the space.
According to I.M. Ilyinsky, young people only acquire subjectivity when they begin to realize their rights (legal personality) and duties (legal capacity) and implement them in practice (legal capacity). In this sense, the most important thing the guarantor of subjectivity are youth associations, which form it as a social force [2].
Youth associations are agents of secondary socialization. They include young people in a socio-political and institutionalized form of social practice and have the following functional purpose:
- are the link between the individual and the state, participate in the formation and implementation of public policy;
- contribute to the self-fulfillment of the individual, create conditions conducive to the development of his or her potential;
- participate in the formation of a system of values and worldviews of young people;
- contribute to civic identification;
- carry out civic and political education;
- exercise control over the political behaviour of members
of the youth organization;
- protect the interests of young people.
Undoubtedly, the participation of socio-political organizations in the lives of young people will reduce the intensity of their natural radicalism. Socio -political organizations should be considered as public associations based on membership, established on a voluntary basis and carrying out joint activities to protect public and political interests of the united citizens, achievement of their statutory goals and implementation of transformational activities in the society A special, political meaning is given to the self-fulfillment of an individual who is a member of an organization or an accompanying person with sympathy [3].
The "system", merging with the mass of sympathizers, or divided into active and passive participants in specific political actions, individual demonstration events. Such is the daily political practice. An individual member of the organization, a member of the organization Membership base (according to R. Merton), often does not deploy active amateur activity in the space of organizational influence.
In order to optimize the conditions for the self-realization of young people in public associations, it is necessary that all subjects of youth policy, including those with certain administrative resources of the institutions carrying out the work with young people at different levels (schools, colleges, universities, etc.).
Social and political associations, in turn, it is necessary to pay attention to the existing conditions within the associations, to try to create a creative atmosphere conducive to the formation of civil culture and civic consciousness among young people. Public associations can help young people to carry out civic identity, to master the values of civic culture, to strengthen the sense of citizenship, to understand the need for personal participation of young people in public policy for the sake of the future of our country and our own self-realization. Membership in the public association will give an opportunity to feel confidence in the future, stability and at the same time feel a certain freedom.
At present, it is necessary to think about the active involvement of young people in various socio-political projects, about the creation of conditions for meeting the needs of young people and the realization of the possibility of self-fulfillment in the socio-political sphere of the institutional intermediaries in the field of human rights and fundamental freedoms. Self-realization can also be done through the expansion of representation youth organizations in elected bodies and power structures; partnership between these organizations and the authorities.
