5. When young Russians are bored being alone they choose a
group with the same interests as all teenagers do. They
want:
 to express themselves – 18%
 to show off – 11%
 to express their identity – 15%
 to protest against the parents – 11%
 to reject everything – 13%
 to have their own values and beliefs – 10%
 to differ from social norms – 19%
 to rebel against the society (old generation) – 1%
 to try out all sort of options – 2%

6.  An ideal subculture... It must be a registered grouping with true
values and beliefs, a grouping without violence, drugs, alcohol.
Must it be a society of domestic people? Or a society of lovers of
silence? It's clearly that's impossible.
 Youth subcultures in modern Russia include mainly schoolboys
of senior classes. Psychologists consider, that in this way teens
form their self- assessment. It is easier for them to assert
themselves in groupings.
 The youth believes that the fact is not in their low self -esteem :
new trends in the Russian society cause changes of in the life of
young people. They have to conform or to protest against
society’s standards.
