Purpose. This article is devoted to the study of the concept of socio-political aspects of the Russian youth interaction with other generations in terms of the theory of generations. The purpose of the presented research is to study the specificity of the development of modern youth values, as well as behavioral and motivational features that encourage members of the younger generation to participate in the socio-political processes taking place in the Russian Federation at the present stage.

As a result of the study, the author concluded that the analysis of the issue dealing with the concept of socio-political aspects of the Russian youth interaction with other generations in terms of the theory of generations showed that there was a sufficiently diverse palette of specific features and characteristics inherent in different generations, including the younger generation, which largely explain the trends of behavior and attitudes of young people to the ongoing socio-political processes in the state.
