What has happened in Russia in recent years has significantly changed the situation in terms of opportunities and prospects for young people, says Alexei Komissarov, General Director of the ANO “Russia – a Land of Opportunities”. He shared his opinion during a speech at the round table “Russian Youth Policy: New Contours and Priorities”.
According to him, we are talking about a whole set of structures, organizations and people actively involved in the work: this is Sirius, and Rosmolodezh, which is changing before our eyes, and the Knowledge society, which has been incredibly unexpected lately, and the All-Russian movement of schoolchildren , ONF youth programs and much more.
“It seems to me that this is a very important trend that gives good results. There are examples of presidential appointments to positions in cities, including major commissioners for children in the district, deputies of representative institutions among individuals who got to these positions through growth, who were appointed by the president of the volume – for example, through the competition “Leaders of Russia” . For example, in the new composition of the State Duma, 23 deputies are those who have passed through the competitions “Russia – a country of opportunities.” This suggests that the system has really begun to work,” Komissarov shared his opinion.
According to the VTsIOM survey, if in general 67% of the country’s inhabitants are provided with the opportunity for young Russians to realize themselves, among the participants in the Russia – Land of Opportunities platform, there are 93% of them, said Alexei Komissarov. Participation in the project, according to respondents, has a positive effect on self-realization, helps to realize one’s vocation and even makes oneself happier.
“At the moment, “Russia is a country of opportunities” will have more than 10 million participants, including 26 projects, including 6 new ones. Some of them are implemented independently, some – together with the participants. For example, for the track “International” of the project “Leader of Russia” we received applications from 150 countries of the world, which was a surprise even for us. These are people who said that they are interested in Russia, and in their messages, essays, they wrote why they consider the Russian Federation a country with greater opportunities than in other countries of the world,” he stressed.
