Political culture undergoes changes associated with the virtualization of everyday life and the transformation of publicity that occurs in the context of Internet spaces. The methodological basis of this publication is the theory of the communicative action of Jurgen Habermas. He describes an ideal-typical model of the public sphere, as well as critical limitations for the implementation of political processes in it. The Internet as a new cultural space presents the participants of the political process with a set of opportunities for overproduction of their living space, thus creating new forms of political participation that have the potential, as they develop, to become an alternative to real forms of political participation. In the Internet space, political discussion is of particular importance, as one of the varieties of political communication. The Internet is an environment of mostly textual nature, in which the subject of the discussion has fundamentally different properties. The virtual nature of communication expands the conceptual framework of political participation.
