Abstract

The results of the research conducted in the form of a mass online survey of Russian youth in 2022 are presented. It describes the aspects of digital socialization in the correlation between virtual and real interaction. The distribution of young respondents' opinions about the role of digital technologies in their lives and the extent to which these technologies can replace the factors of real, "live" communication is presented. The authors conclude that young people are ready to actively interact in two spaces - digital and real, which allows us to consider the model of socialization that closely combines them as the most acceptable at present.
