Methods. In the process of studying the issues of patriotic education, methods of observation, comparison, and comparative analysis were used. The changes associated with the development of patriotism are analyzed, and the disadvantages caused by the weakening of patriotic and ideological education in recent years are noted.

It is necessary to raise the level of patriotic development in all age categories through education, upbringing and practical work that contributes to improving spiritual development and physical fitness.
