The Internet is harnessed as an ideal means for organization and promotion of protest ideology, which does not require special institutional facilities for maintenance and development. Radical right-wing extremism is reckoned to be among the public sentiments employing this global network. Consequently, Russia is experiencing the tightening of Internet controls. The objective of our study is identification of the audience of Russian radical right-wing extremist online groups registered in the largest Russian social network Vkontakte and analysis of their properties under conditions of the state-sanctioned censorship of extremist content. The methodological frame of the study is the conception of modernization, which describes both the process of transformation of traditionalism into modernity and the forces of counteraction to this process. The methods of linguistic markers and social network analysis are employed as the main tools for the furtherance of our objective.
