he first two decades of the development of social relations in Russia revealed the essentially contradictory problems of the education of young people. Family, school, social institutions that do not take into account the fact that young people, primarily a subject of social relations, use the established stereotypes of upbringing, and in recent years they present the upbringing process as some kind of service. At the same time, the most important factors of influence on the external environment of young people, their value orientations and preferences are not taken into account. In the absence of a state ideology of social development, there is an increase in consumer communication, lack of spirituality, loss of interest in work, lack of trust in the implementation of social practices.

Stagnation and unavoidable consequences.
