The article presents findings from a sociological study on the political consciousness and behavior of student youth in the Smolensk region, focusing on their values, attitudes, and motives for civic engagement. The region's unique location on Russia's western border, viewed as a 'frontier' in modern political science, shapes youth attitudes toward power, life strategies, and political engagement. The sample implemented within the research framework is representative. The sociological data obtained were compared with the results of previous studies conducted in the region, as well as with data from a series of nationwide surveys. According to the data, the political values and attitudes of students in the Smolensk region, situated at the western border, generally align with all-Russian trends in youth political consciousness and behavior. At the same time, specific features that distinguish the attitudes and motives of Smolensk students' behaviour from the all-Russian indicators have been identified and described. The analysis of political stereotypes allowed us to characterize the political and cultural identity of Smolensk students typologically.References
