The article discusses the link between migratory emotions of students and their political identification and self-positioning in political sphere. The authors analyzed the level and structure of students ‘ interest for politics, their assessment of Russian politics and level of trust in socio-political institutions, actual experience of political participation and attitudes to acceptable political practices. Based on the polls of school students from grades 9 through 11, first and second-year university students of Siberian Federal District and Far Eastern Federal District, focus group discussions and expert surveys, prevalence of migratory emotions has been traced among young people, particularly in the Far East districts, these sentiments being determined by social and economic factors. School and university students have been split into four groups according to their migratory emotions: not aiming at migration, aiming at return or non-return inter-regional migration, and aiming at migration but having no such possibility. An analysis of political values, interests and attitudes of each group representatives has revealed a higher level of current and potential political involvement among those aiming at non-return migration, and aiming at migration but having no such possibility, their engagement in on-line politics and public activities, including protests. Young people who do not aim at migration or aim at return migration demonstrate stronger institutional confidence and deeper involvement in local community life.
