Abstract
The issue of intergenerational interaction is increasingly on the agenda of discussion and has become a topical subject of various kinds of research. The problem of “fathers” and “children” remains topical throughout the whole history of mankind, but the ever more acute generational rift between “boomers” and “millennials” requires a comprehensive, deep understanding. In this article the author makes a comparative analysis of generations of “boomers” and “millennials”. The historical context of the birth and the process of socialization of the compared generations is comprehended. On the basis of anthropological and sociological approaches to the analysis of generations, demographic differences are presented, differences in life strategies and values are analyzed, attention is focused on differentiation in the consumption of news content, attitude to digitalization. Differences in political attitudes and behaviour are analysed separately.
