Annotation
The article presents the results of a qualitative study of determining the peculiarities of political attribution of the Russian citizen and the content components of the positive image of Russia. The authors of the article studied the political attributions of the Russian citizen in the historical retrospective of the development of state power (during the change of political paradigms). The hypothesis that the features of political attri butions of a person determine the formation of a positive image of the country is proved. The study found that the image of modern Russia in the consciousness of generations X, Y and Z has no differences and is characterized by positive characteristics both
in terms of sign system and activity factors. The image of the post-Soviet state in generations X and Y has a pronounced negative character in terms of image semantics, pragmatics and syntactics, while generation Z, on the contrary, demonstrates a positive perception of Soviet power and a positive image of the state of that time. The image of the Soviet state also has differences in the representation of generations: X and Y — positive image; generation Z — negative image. It is also worth noting that the image of modern Russia and the image of the Soviet state in the perceptions of the generations are almost identical.
