Abstract

“Digital youth”, or generation Z, makes up almost one third of the Russian population. Media consumption of young Russians is mainly concentrated in the digital space, more precisely, in social media. This study presents media narratives identified in communities popular among young people on the VK and Telegram platforms, reflecting the metanarratives of Russian society. Thus, the agenda of “digital youth” is dominated by media narratives aimed at fostering patriotism, historical memory, traditional family values and a healthy lifestyle. Meanwhile, there are also “unsafe medianarratives” that draw attention to the presence of problems in the country, corruption in the regions, approving the use of alcohol and smoking
