Sociopolitical Dynamics in Russia

The article is devoted to the speech specifics of the “stand-up” genre in youth culture and its role as a “social elevator”. The authors analyze the characteristics of the genre in terms of its speech characteristics and linguodidactic potential. The proximity of a standup to the verbal and non-verbal means used to the genre of everyday spontaneous speech, the humorous design, the practical limitlessness of the subject explains the popularity and attractiveness of the genre among young people. The popularity of the genre among young people, its use in club practice makes real appeal to its best examples in teaching the culture of speech. The style of the humorous show, the practice of an “open microphone”, when any visitor to the event can present their prepared speech to the audience and demonstrate the ability to improvise has turned stand-up into a broad movement, widely represented in a youth culture. Setting up special clubs, organizing solo events of the most popular representatives, arranging their tours allowed a stand-up to take a certain place in the structure of Russian show business having turned it into a rather serious entertainment industry. A characteristic feature of modern mass youth culture as a desire to be recognized, to receive as many “likes” as possible contribute to creating the author’s interactive musical, humorous shows as well as talk shows in the form of a stand-up in huge quantities and being available in Youtube and social networks..
