political technologies

This article is devoted to the analysis of one of the key problems of the strategy of modern Russian state youth policy. This is the problem of sustainable dominance in youth policy of the motives of state charity (systematic investments of budget funds in solving current problems of youth, in general, or of individual groups) over the motives of national-state interest (ensuring the sovereignty and security of the country, solving the problems of its economic development) throughout the post-Soviet era and up to the present day.

The article substantiates the possibility of improving the methodology of studying modern (“color”) revolutions. It is argued that the methodology, based on the researchers’ ideas of politicaltechnologies nature of these revolutions and focused on their analysis through the prism of political technologies, obviously narrows the possibilities of political science in studying of this phenomenon.
