Annotation The article is based on the data of expert interviews, surveys and addresses the problem of a civil society formation. The degree of civil society development is not only a measure of the development of the democracy institution. The degree of political and civil activity of every citizen of the country depends on the implementation of basic civil rights, degree of freedom of all public institutions, media, as well as the quality of authorities’ functioning at all levels and the degree of their involvement in dialogue with the population. The role of young people in this is especially important, because it depends on them how we will live in the future. Moreover, we see that opposition forces are quite actively seeking to use the political potential of young people, which makes this category of citizens very vulnerable to various kinds of manipulations. The main research methods are special sociological research methods: an expert interview, survey, method of documentary research. Also the data from the results of surveys of the Public Opinion Foundation have been used. On the basis of these data, the issues of civil society formation, political and social activity of citizens, the reasons hindering the development of civil consciousness of the population are considered on the example of the electoral behaviour of citizens of Samara, their involvement in solving political and social problems of the city. As a result of surveys and interviews, it has been found that the majority of the population is inert in dealing with common civil interests and divided. The main way out of this situation, the government of the Russian Federation sees in the formation of “top” structures through which citizens can express their interests and also with their help attract young personnel to manage
