Abstract
The article examines digital dialogue between the state and society as a mechanism for shaping public support in contemporary Russia. It argues that digitalization has transformed the model of state communication by increasing the role of internet platforms, social networks, and messengers in transmitting and interpreting the political agenda.
Special attention is paid to young people as a strategic audience of digital interaction.
The article identifies informational-explanatory, semantic, engaging, personalized, and protective-competitive mechanisms for shaping public support. It also defines the key problems of digital dialogue and directions for its improvement.
