From Boomers to Zoomers: What Defines Each Russian Generation

PRAVDA Thursday, 24 July 2025 ()
A generation is a group of people born during the same period and shaped by shared social, cultural, and historical conditions. According to generational theory, history is cyclical and consists of four recurring stages: crisis, rise, decline, and awakening. Roughly every 20–25 years, a new generation emerges with values distinct from those of their parents. The goal of the theory is to help identify and understand these differences for better communication. Russian Generations by Birth Year: Silent Generation: 1925 – 1944 Baby Boomers: 1944 – 1967 Generation X: 1967 – 1984 Generation Y (Millennials): 1984 – 2000 Generation Z (Zoomers): 2000 – 2011 Generation Alpha: from 2011 onward Silent Generation (1925–1944) This is the smallest surviving generation in Russia. Their childhood was marked by World War II, repression, hunger, and hard labor. They grew up during the cult of personality, state censorship, and fear of denunciation, which made them cautious and reserved. They are called "Silent" because they rarely voiced opinions outside the family. Despite their hardships, this generation made Russia the "most reading country in the world" and helped rebuild the nation after the war.
