SOCIAL MEDIA IN THE INTERNAL POLICY OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION
The article aims to present the results of the analysis of the information policy strategy of the Russian Federation concerning social media. The legal provisions introduced after 2014 and defining the functioning of social media were analyzed, pointing to the main reasons for the actions and the goal of the legislator. The international context and ways of interpreting the processes taking place in the international environment by the Russian elites were also analysed, which determined the internal policy towards the information sphere and the mass media. The authors refer to institutionalism both in the sense of analyzing normative acts and pointing to the important role of institutionalized norms and values in determining the ways of perceiving the world and thus political behaviour. Referring to the research tradition of constructivism in international relations, they emphasise that normative and ideological structures are at least as important as material structures in shaping political relations. Pointing out that the features of the modern system of the Russian Federation are the consolidation of power, the developed political centre around which the concentration of power took place (the office of the president), the functioning of the ruling party dominating the political scene and the marginalisation of opposition movements and parties, as well as the media monopoly, the authors consider the changes taking place in the Russian Federationalmost in the context of processes of democratic regression.
