MAIN DIRECTIONS FOR DEVELOPING THE LEGAL LITERACY OF THE RUSSIAN YOUTH IN THE DIGITAL SPACE: PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS

Abstract

The study aims to determine the main directions for forming the legal literacy of the Russian youth. Methods: To achieve this objective, the authors have identified the essence of this process, its prerequisites and results, and the relationship between the development of legal consciousness and national and foreign policies. The methodological basis includes general methods of cognition (deduction and abstraction) and special methods (historical-legal, formal-legal, comparative-legal, and systemic analysis) used in socio-political and historical-legal scientific research. Results: The analysis of the digitalization of socially significant industries in the Russian Federation shows that cybersecurity software is being created, as well as opportunities for digital transformation of all socially significant industries. Conclusions: The authors have concluded that the process of developing the legal literacy of the Russian youth in the digital space directly depends on the perception of spiritual and moral values and historical memory, as well as on the ability of Russian society to pass on its heritage to the younger generation.
