The New Function of the Student Leisure in Russian Education
[EN] The aim of this work is to study the dynamics of the impact that the students’ leisure activities have on the value system formation of modern students. The object of the empirical analysis is musical and theatrical art as a form of multi-dimensional socio-cultural influences. Noting their interdependence, the authors on a particular empirical material prove the change in the value of leisure in the modernization of higher education in Russia, and establishment of a new function - the formation of common cultural competences and worldview attitudes of the future professionals. Special attention is paid to the role and importance of leisure activities of students for the society, and necessity of researching them for the formation of cultural policy. We show the results of the monitoring studies by the authors identifying the ideas that modern students have about leisure preferences, and refute the myth about the lack of demand for works of world and national classics. An increase of students’ reflection degree on works which address social problems has been revealed in motivation for choosing a cultural work. Student society is increasingly becoming an acting subject in society, and this is reflected in sudents' leisure preferences.Narkhov, D.; Narkhova, E.; Khorova, P. (2017).

CONSUMPTION IS THE INSTRUMENT OF COMMUNICATION AND SELF-IDENTIFICATION
Russian and Western sociologists have noted the relevance of self-identification issues in times of crisis and worsening ethnic relations. The need for self-identification is a critical need for the person performing such functions in the life of man as self-actualization and psychological security and the ability to quickly adapt to changing conditions. The main mechanism of social identity is the individual\u27s performance of certain social roles. Social instability leads to a blurring of the performance roles of this individual. Such a social vacuum is filled things and rituals The practice life of man becoming the theater - asserts a well-known American sociologist Irving Goffman. Since in times of crisis man feels as an object that is affected by a process that he cannot control, then in the process of selection and consumption of things he can regain the status of the subject. The paper presents an attempt to analyze the positive and negative consequences of such scenario of individual self-identification as well as a role in these processes of modern communication
