The article presents the results of a linguistic study of online petitions as a relevant form of citizens’ political participation on the Internet, and the analysis results of the characteristics that were studied in this new protest communication genre, constituting its complex, hybrid nature. The author describes the positive and negative factors of electronic democracy, testifying to the influence of this new interaction format between the authorities and citizens on modern communication protest practices, determined by the medialization trends and technological determinism. The phenomenon of political participation is fully described in terms of its forms, levels of interaction of the parties, types of response, conventionality, groups of online participants, motives and users’ behaviour models on Internet platforms. According to the results of the analysis, the author makes a conclusion about the high media potential to realise personalization of socially significant topics as a part of a petition; about the complex nature of studied discursive practices (hybridity of discursive characteristics, multifunctionality, multi-intentionality, stylistic syncretism, special dialogism, complex addresser and addressee, transposition of mass addresser and addressee).
