Patriotism and migration sentiments of generation Z in Novosibirsk and the Novosibirsk regionon the eve of the smo

The empirical study of migration attitudes among young people of Novosibirsk, its suburbs and regional remote rural settlements is conducted to reveal how widespread the sense of patriotism is among them, as well as their values and value orientations. Factors of the desire to leave not only their homes, but also their homeland, are determined. It is shown that social and economic reasons such as family income and quality of life in the settlement are not significant in making the decision to migrate. The main factor is the desire either to realize themselves in their profession (for a minority of respondents) or to carry out their dream of a “good life” inspired by social networks and bloggers. While residents of the villages seek their dreams in the megacity, its residents in large numbers intend to migrate to Western Europe or the United States, including for permanent residence. The pessimism of young people about the prospect of Russia becoming a great prosperous state is alarming.
