In the context of geopolitical instability, the political culture of youth is an important aspect of analysis, acting as an indicator of reflection on political events at different levels within the youth space. The purpose of the article is to consider the indicators of the political culture of youth in the context of geopolitical instability and determine their risk values that can transform into problematic models of political behavior. The article analyzes the results of the 2021-2022 study devoted to the study of the political culture and thinking of regional youth, the respondents of the online survey were 4215 young people of the Belgorod region, the sample is quota in relation to gender, age, type of settlement and territory of residence of respondents. It was determined that regional youth assessed their level of political culture and their level of political activity as quite low. The basis for assessing political decisions are human-measured values associated with the quality of life and security. Political life plans are not important for young people against the background of other life strategies, but at the same time, quite high political ambitions are noted among at least 13% of young people. The totality of indicators of the political culture of youth determined the risks that were realized in the regional environment in the context of geopolitical changes in 2022-2025: political disorientation and maladaptation, political exclusion, increased youth migration, and a narrowing of the planning horizon were manifested. The results of the study identified the problem of social institutions' inattention to the formation and improvement of the level of political culture of youth.
