Legal awareness of the population is formed through a variety of communication channels. An all-Russian survey of public opinion on assessing the level of legal culture has shown that citizens use mainly non-specialized sources of information, such as mass media (television, radio, news Internet publications), as well as social networks in order to obtain information on existing legislative norms and their changes, forums, etc. At the same time, information obtained from such sources is characterized by spontaneity, lack of completeness and often carries conflicting information. This largely affects the level of legal knowledge of citizens, their legal behavior, as well as their ability to assert their legitimate rights and interests in the event of any violations by authorities or unscrupulous employers.
