This article is devoted to the consideration of professional political science education in the structure of civic education in modern Russia. The article presents an analysis of the existing subjects of political education. According to the results of the study, it was concluded that there is a large number of political education subjects in Russia, operating at different levels and covering a wide audience of citizens interested in political issues. The main problem is the lack of a proper level of continuity and sustainability of interconnections between various levels and elements of political science education, which is a consequence of the lack of a unified system of civic education in the country. The solution of this problem can be the creation of a nationwide civic education system, the core of which will be political science education.
