metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: This article studies vigilantism, a specific form of civic activity whose history can be traced
  back to the nineteenth century and which in the era of digitalization has acquired new characteristics.
  Digital vigilantism, as a well-established social phenomenon not only in world
  practice, but also in Russia, needs an analysis of its structure, goals, motivations, and interests
  and values of members of various communities to determine trends and changes in civil society
  in the context of digital transformations. Digital vigilantes seeking to regulate ideas about
  the “normality” of behavior, using interactions in social networks that are aggressive and even
  bordering on extremist, claim to be a significant actor for public policy. Legitimizing an alternative
  system for identifying violators, criminals, victims and punishments (by increasing the
  number of likes), they not only seek to co-opt the initiative to form public values, but often
  ignore and replace governmental structures. At the same time, they increasingly turn out to
  be not nameless avengers, but rather individuals seeking to declare themselves and achieve
  through creating the conflict not only their own goals, but also a certain popularity or “network
  power”, which is well monetized. The authors analyze behavioral patterns of the most
  famous communities — “Lev Protiv” (Lion Against), “StopHam” (StopBoor), “Hrushi protiv”
  (Piggies Against), and “AntiDealer” — and their activities in the VKontakte social network
  and on YouTube to typologize Russian vigilantism. The possibility of interaction with such
  movements (both online and offline formats) is not excluded for the system of public power,
  if a framework (procedures, rules) can be established for them that determines their auxiliary
  functions (notification, informing, propaganda). The proliferation of vigilante movements
  and their demonstration of direct violence is a significant indicator of the inefficiency of the public administration system, a decrease in the level of legitimacy and support for its institutions,
  and indicates an increased risk of loss of state governability.
