Functions and dysfunctions of legal culture in the digital dimension

The article formulates and proposes for discussion three main directions of state policy aimed at enhancing legal culture among youth and overcoming its dysfunctions: 1) protecting Russian traditional values from digital informational-ideological and propagandistic attacks; 2) fostering legal culture among migrant youth; 3) implementing systemic policies to strengthen and protect traditional values through legal culture education across all societal levels. The dichotomy between digital and analog legal understanding within youth subcultures is addressed. Six functions of legal culture are formulated to develop effective measures of state policy aimed at shaping youth legal consciousness. The process is noted to be associated with preserving and promoting traditional values in society, both Russian and transnational, universal values; with the assimilation of cultural paradigms and language by young migrants; with their compliance with the legislative requirements for adaptation and socialization in Russia, and with societal consolidation.
