General Summary

Embracing the Past, Shaping the Future - Unpacking Historical Memories with MoveMeRU

We conducted parent-child surveys in Canada, Estonia, and Germany to better grasp the political socialisation of young adults. In so doing, we want to make a decisive contribution to understanding how the intergenerational perception and transmission of history are linked to political and social values. More specifically, we aim to understand how people with a Russian background differ from the general populations in their views on history and political values.
