Abstract:
Communication aspects of political life in the society raise the interest of scientists both in Russia and in foreign countries. Throughout history, the relationship between government and society has been regulated by certain norms and rules which have been institutionalized into communication regimes. Although little studied, this phenomenon is an essential element of the socio-political system. The communication regime runs through all areas of communication and regulates the interaction between the various institutions of civil society. The main actors of communication regimes are the government, mass media, civil society institutions, and business. At the moment, there are several areas of research in this field, including the development of methods for analyzing regional communication regimes in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. The Republic of Tatarstan was chosen as one of the pilot regions specifically; there is already a managed communication regime that provides stability in the region and the functioning of the existing principles of communication between the government and the society. The peculiarities of the communication regime in the Republic of Tatarstan include centralized control over the information field and communication tools, creation of mechanisms for monitoring the dynamics of public opinion and public needs, involvement of civil society institutions in systemic relations with the government through financial and other types of support, inclusion in public chambers and councils, socio-cultural context.
