Abstract ◊ The article considers the problems of empirical studies of contemporary Russian youth’s patriotism with the use of the methods of applied sociology. The author argued in favour of the thesis on the application of such indicators of patriotism as a living position in relation to others and orientation to the social utility of one’s own labour activity in the research.
Keywords: living position, public utility, youth, patriotism.
