Student: Shilyaeva Anastasia

Educational Programme: Political Science (Bachelor)

Year of Graduation: 2021

The main goal of this study is to identify deep psychological images of political power among young people in Moscow and the Moscow region, formed by an already established political culture. To achieve this goal, the author uses a combination of sociological and psychological methods of obtaining information. Using these methods, the author will be able to show that the image of political power is: stable and formed by cultural archetypes that have historically developed in the state; personified and refers, for the most part, to the personality of the president (which is also associated with cultural paternalism); abstract, blurry and vague. The work consists of an introduction, two chapters and a conclusion.
