The development of information and communication technologies contributes to the creation and active use of various digital services and platforms in the public sphere of interaction between government and society. However, the conditions of their interaction in the digital space, especially at the regional level, have not been sufficiently studied and require close attention. In this regard, the article analyzes the processes of digitalization of electoral procedures, institutions of public chambers and public councils, the activities of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and volunteerism as forms of interaction between government and society. Empirical data were collected in a number of studies: analysis of the activities of resource centers for supporting NGOs and civil activists; analysis of the activity of public chambers on the Internet; identification of state regulation of the digitalization process of key forms of public activity; surveys of employees of public authorities of the Yaroslavl region; surveys of managers and employees of non-profit organizations of the Yaroslavl region.

Social network sites have taken a strong position in the space of socio-political communication. In the modern world, the necessity to analyze events occurring in the virtual space for a relevant reaction to events occurring in reality, is generally recognized. The study of online processes is largely based on the analysis of quantitative data that allows talking about the activity of users and their involvement. However, the meaning of the information transmitted in social networks remains important. In the framework of this study, an attempt is made to determine the specifics of broadcasting protest agendas in social networks and the impact of their transformation on the process of involving users in online protest activity. Examples of 7 protest campaigns accompanied by active coverage in social networks are given. Conclusions are drawn about the specifics of broadcasting protest agendas in social networks and supporting users from their transformation.

The article reveals the features of the functioning of student associations and organizations in the context of modern socio-political reality. The purpose of the study is to identify the perception of students of public associations, their formats and the results of their activities. The empirical basis of the study is the data obtained during a series focus group interviews and expert interviews. The main research platform is the consortium of universities «Upper Volga - the territory of innovation». The main value-orientation attitudes of modern youth and students, their attitudes to citizenship, power and the social structure of modern society are revealed in the theoretical part of the paper. In the study itself, the actual situation was revealed both in the youth and student associations themselves, and the specifics of their interaction with students and the educational institution as a whole. Thus, in the course of the study, it was found that the awareness and involvement of students in the activities of youth associations remains at a low level. In turn, the broadcast topics and formats of the work of these organizations do not fully reflect the needs and preferences of modern students, which forms a certain distance between active and inactive students. The results of the study suggest that communication with students through university associations and organizations can be difficult and ineffective.
