Cardinal socio-political and economic changes in the country and the world require a revision of the principles of interaction between the government and society. The establishment of dialogue, partnership relations between all subjects of political communications is an urgent problem, the solution of which depends on positive changes in the Russian social reality. The emergence of the Internet has caused a shift towards remote modes of interaction, rendering direct communication amongst political actors less germane and often viewed as insufficiently meeting the needs of the contemporary information society.
Such a position is not always justified; therefore, the article substantiates the need for an integrated approach to the organization of political interaction between representatives of the legislature and the population. This approach should incorporate a blend of both virtual network and inperson communication methods. For this purpose, we examine the potential connections between elected officials and voters using formats mandated by law in the Russian Federation. These formats have been practiced through accumulated socio-technological and political-technological experience, including activities carried out in direct interpersonal and group relation-ships, as well as on the Internet. Various innovative measures are employed here, utilizing the potential of social networks and messaging platforms as channels for disseminating information. Thanks to the network infrastructure, all politically active citizens who are interested can access any traditional forms of interaction between deputies and their constituents that have been implemented and legislated, such as assemblies, meetings, etc.
The article is classified as a review article using a descriptive method and an expert interview. Its aim is to examine the crucial forms of interaction between legislators and citizens, summarize assessments from regional deputies with substantial experience in public authorities at local and regional levels, and substantiate the requirement to combine both network and personal communications in political practices.

When a family immigrates, they face the pressure of adjusting to new living conditions. These changes can have a significant impact on the family's social status, lifestyle, members, system of value orientations, and motivation for life activities. The considerable migration of families to Russia necessitates the identification of key trends in the transformation of migrant family institutions and the socio-cultural conditions within host societies. It is essential to examine the social impact of this transformation on all parties involved, including the preservation of national socio-cultural identities of families, as well as the social, economic and political development of the region. The article highlights the theoretical and practical importance of migrant family "manifestation" as a migration behavior and sociological research topic, which is still poorly studied. This phenomenon generates new family forms and directly impacts the integration processes of migrants into the host society, the society itself, and the family structure of the local population. The authors faced difficulties in resolving research tasks due to the unavailability of official statistics on family migration, which impedes the estimation of the magnitude of this social phenomenon. To address this issue, they aimed to showcase the applicability of the Fermi method to approximately gauge the growth of family migration based on statistical information pertaining to other quantifiable facets of migration processes. The authors have estimated the approximate number of migrant families entering Russia/Tyumen region during 2017 to 2021 from three CIS countries (the Kyrgyz Republic, the Republic of Uzbekistan, and the Republic of Tajikistan). This information can be used for scientific purposes as part of the continuation of family research, as well as to evaluate the effectiveness of various state programs of migration and family policy in the region.
