Students Predict A Post-Covid Future: Ethno-Gender Results Of Social Research In Bashkortostan
Abstract
Students of Bashkortostan universities stubbornly reflected on Covid threats and forced self-isolation. We conducted in-university monitoring sociological surveys (2019, 2020) to analyze the results and see the main trends. The life of the young Russians has been significantly transformed in the conditions of the Covid pandemic. It began to have new characteristic features, firstly, social and everyday closeness and, secondly, Internet communication dependence. Youth society is bipolar. In conditions of self-isolation most regional youth remained optimistic, but a layer of the minority appeared – these were pessimists. Young optimists quickly identified the social role and civic position in the public life of the region during the pandemic and post-pandemic periods. They plan to create a traditional family-career model. This generation is altruists, innovators and rationalists in any sphere of life. They understand international problems that they are interested in. In the global forecasts of the post-Covid future, they act as objectively and critically minded citizens. Young pessimists experienced Covid isolation with great difficulties. Some were in protracted intra-personal conflict, adapted to the distance learning system and to remote work for a longer time. They did not comply with security measures against Covid infection. These young people do not always like to observe social norms. These students are more selfish and hedonistic and prefer relaxing and comfortable life. They are least interested in global and international problems, since they are apolitical. They are looking for entertainment online. These young people do not perform social and civic roles as expected in society.
