Abstract

The revival and development of youth movements in modern Russia makes it necessary to determine the leading trends in their creation and development. A differentiation of movements within youth groups into constructive and destructive has been revealed. It is stated that along with positive trends in the development of youth movements, negative ones also appear, accompanied by child, adolescent and youth drug addiction. Stabilizing and destabilizing factors influencing and determining trends in the development of youth movements are identified. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of drug addiction among youth as one of the types of deviant behavior that requires special attention and direction of the activities of youth movements with a positive orientation. The role and significance of social institutions, including youth movements, in the prevention of deviant behavior of children and youth is outlined.
