The article is devoted to pressing issues related to the educational, cultural and enlightening functions of the virtual network communities of the Kola Sami. The results of an empirical study are presented, the purpose of which is a quantitative and qualitative characteristic of the scientific, educational, cultural and educational content of the Sami network resources. The study showed that the educational potential of online communities targeting Sami users is significantly inferior to the capabilities of resources created for a wider audience. Cultural and educational content is most diverse in communities created on the individual initiative of cyber activists. Most Sámi virtual communities are not well developed in terms of user interaction technologies. The factors of interacting destructive processes in online and offline spaces that impede the activities of communities are identified.
