A REFLECTION OF A POLITICAL EDUCATION IN ELECTORAL PREFERENCES OF STUDENTS
The article is dedicated to the problem of a political education in a modern institution of higher education. State educational standards direct administrations of educational institutions toward removing the subject «Political science» from curricula. This problem is not only methodological, but also deeply conceptional, as it causes a political illiteracy, hence, a political irresponsibility. In this article an attempt has been made to trace an interrelation between a modern student’s removal from a political education and his political choice in terms of the last State Duma-2011 parliamentary elections. The main source of the investigation were the results of a survey of students of the North-Eastern federal university and outcomes of elections at three levels: a federal, a republican and a local one.
