Abstract: In the course of the research, the author revealed an inverse correlation between the number of active users of Web 2.0 platforms, services, applications in the regions and the voter turnout in the 2016 electoral cycle (the more number of active users in the region, the voter turnout is lower, and vice versa).Also found that after the adoption of each legislative initiative aimed at regulating the network space, the number of Tor (allows to stay anonymous in the network and bypass the state-imposed restrictions) users increases significantly, which indicates the desire of the network space to gain autonomy from state supervision and regulation.Analyzing the obtained empirical results, as well as such processes and phenomena as cyberparties, network monitory actors, political network movements and communities, the involvement of the "digital" generations Y and Z through the network space into the political life of the society, the influence of the network space on the processes of protest mobilization, the use of digital network communications as an instrument of political participation of citizens, the author concludes that there was a conjugation of the network space and political reality. In conclusion, the author outlines the main features of conjugation and its possible consequences.

Abstract: The author examines in detail the changes that take place in the political space under the influence of "communicative abundance", which makes it possible to initialize policy networks in real time and with minimal costs. The purpose of this research is to identify the main interfaces for the interaction of political networks and political reality, as well as the limits of the possibilities of the networks influence on political reality. The object of this research is the political networks operating in the Web 2.0 space. The subject is interfaces, through which political networks are able to interact with political reality. Highlighting the main points of the transition of virtual to real, the author concludes that there are three main interfaces. The first interface is a public political space, using which the networks are capable of transforming the political culture of society, changing perceptions of political values and vectors of development. The second interface is the institutional outputs, through which networks are able to interact with political reality and at times incorporate into the political system. The third interface is actions of direct action as a demonstration that there are real citizens, political actors and political demands behind the networks.
