Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the phenomenon of the youth Twitter-community from two main perspectives. First, we analyze sociological theoretical and methodological concepts. Second, we interpret both the survey data provided by informants (N = 10; 2014–2015), residing in the city of Saratov and being popular within a given community, and the materials of the informants’ Twitter-accounts. In our opinion this social network underlines the new trends of modernity better than others, successfully displays the person’s inner world. According to the results of theoretical and methodological analysis, significant sociological discourse fields of the youth virtual communities were highlighted. The results of the collected interviews’ analysis are provided.
