Abstract
The problem of effective civic participation and constructive political protest in contemporary Russia is one of the most urgent because of both the ongoing nation-building, and for strengthening and expanding mass legal awareness, activating social forces in the cause of sustainable socio-political development. In this regard, the article analyzes the process of digital transformation of Russian civil protest participation. The study is based on the provisions of systemic, neoinstitutional and comparative analysis, using a statistical method. The authors noted that the political protest of citizens using digital technologies is characterized by a non-violent and peaceful nature, carried out mainly in social networks and cross-platform messengers, as well as in mobile applications (such as maps with the ability to label and comment).
