Abstract
Introduction. This paper presents an attempt to understand destructive trends from the multidisciplinary approach in the modern adolescent-youth environment of Russia in the context of the tragedies in Kerch and Arkhangelsk. Dynamic changes in the adolescent-youth environment with social content and semiotic expression are considered as signals from collective unconscious of the society towards public consciousness. Materials and Methods. Documents from the open sources (including the Internet) were processed via analysis and synthesis of information, deduction and induction, case studies, interpretation and hermeneutics. Results. Destructive tendencies are manifested in such forms as suicides (Russia «ranks» first in Europe for teenage suicides), destructive and self-destructive behaviour, involvement in destructive communities such as «death groups», which have, among other things, quasi-religious content, etc. Destructive tendencies in the field of teenage (youth) subculture should be considered as an appeal (message) from the collective unconscious of the Russian (Russian according to the culture) society to the collective «selfconsciousness» of the Russian (Russian according to the culture) society and society as a whole. The research reveals the causes and essence of painful “message” sent to the collective consciousness of the Russian society by teenage (youth) environment, outlines the ways of optimization of the national youth and educational policy with regard to the state security of the Russian Federation and effective means of working with juveniles and youth. Conclusions. In order to reveal the individuals with a tendency to destructive actions and involvement in new radical (quasi) religious structures psychologists, scholars in religion and law enforcement agencies are to work focusing on certain targets. Tragedy in Kerch is one of the manifestations of the extremely important signal sent from the juveniles to the consciousness of the Russian society.
Main Provisions:
- The relevance of the suggested material is determined by necessary analysis of tendencies and events in juvenile-youth environment as a “message” from the collective unconscious of the Russian society to its collective consciousness.
- The analysis attempted is based on generalizations made in respect with understanding the specifics of juvenile age as a period of “initial individuation”.
- Comprehension of deep determinants of juvenile and youth destructive acts will help psychologists and pedagogues raise effectiveness of preventive and correctional work and the government to raise effectiveness of adequacy of their tactics and strategies in youth and educational policy including improvement of appropriate practical psychological services’ activities.
