Abstract: A conservative-based modal model of social behavior of the youth prevailed in the Russian society in the 90’s of the last century. It was associated with the fact that terminal values still dominated in mental programs of the Russian youth where the education was traditionally considered as a public good form of personal development and a way to obtain a profession “for life”. At the turn of the century the Russian society moved from the conservative-based modal model of social behavior of the youth in education to the liberal-based one in the mental program of which instrumental values dominate in terms of which the education is considered as a social capital and means of social mobility. At the same time the model is characterized by contradictions between traditional and contemporary, terminal and instrumental, spontaneous and conscious, desired and feasible.
