description This research paper examines the current state of political education and enlightenment among young adults attending Russian universities. The study uses a politico-psychological paradigm, viewing political education and enlightenment as means for controlled political socialization. Surveys of vice-rectors in charge of educational and youth policy at several Russian institutions provided empirical data, which was supplemented by views from academic and practical specialists. The surveys were conducted between late 2024 and early 2025. The findings highlight the importance of building a comprehensive strategy for implementing educational and enlightenment initiatives inside higher education institutions, as well as arguing for the incorporation of new pedagogical methods like gamification into these programs.
