Abstract: In this paper, an analysis of the key characteristics of the social status of the elderly in Russia was made. The situation of intergenerational contacts in a number of cases initially is potentially a conflict: youth is characterized by cautious, indifferent attitudes towards older people. Negative expectations of each party to help interpret any ambiguous actions of the other as a potential conflict, which exacerbates the situation, leaving no place that could be described as "neutral behavior." Restrictions on the media representatives of the third age contributes to a specific behavioral practices that give a tactical advantage, but the potential to lower the status of the elderly person and help to perpetuate negative stereotypes about old age.
