Abstract

ABSTRACT The mediatization of social practices has brought new trends and forms of activism to life in society. This paper seeks to explain the theoretical basis for and provide conceptual insight into the Russian practice of hashtag activism – a phenomenon that has become an integral part of contemporary media activism and is of burgeoning interest to both Russian and foreign researchers. Moreover, this phenomenon is equally relevant to the study of the mediatization of politics more widely. Thus, the aim of the paper is to measure the level of the hashtag activism in Russia. This paper presents the results of the survey on social and political issues among young Russians, compares real activism with media activism, and discusses the role of hashtags in social media activism through the lens of several high profiles, public political events that took place in Russia between 2019 and 2020.

俄罗斯的标签行动主义:理论与实践

社会实践的媒介化为社会生活带来了新的趋势和形式。本文试图解释俄罗斯标签行动主义实践的理论基础，并提供概念上的见解——这一现象已成为当代媒体行动主义的一个组成部分，并引起了俄罗斯和外国研究人员的兴趣。此外，这一现象与更广泛的政治媒介化研究同样相关。因此，本文的目的是衡量俄罗斯标签行动主义的水平。本文介绍了对俄罗斯年轻人的社会和政治问题的调查结果，比较了真正的行动主义与媒体行动主义，并通过2019年至2020年期间发生在俄罗斯的几起引人注目的公共政治事件来讨论标签在社交媒体行动主义中的作用。
