Abstract. The paper is based on the experience of an ongoing project ‘Moni‐
toring and prevention of antisocial behaviour of the young people based on Big
Data and communication in social networks’ which is created and implemented
by the authors with the aim to prevent politically and socially destructive behav‐
iour of the Russian adolescences based on Big Data and the mediation in social
networks. We describe the three stages of the project: educational (preparatory-
organizational), analytical (information-prognostic) and mediating (social-peda‐
gogical); and introduce the system ‘Social-political insider’ for the collecting,
processing and the sentiment analysis of the data about the sphere of the interests,
the interest groups, subcultures that are in high demand among the young people.
Then we discuss the preliminary results of the first, educational, stage of the
project and the special knowledge and skills which are essential for the project
team. The importance of such projects which can create the well-trained teams
of the professionals and to organize monitoring and modification of the social and
political behaviour of young people on a systematic basis is emphasized at the
state level as one of the tasks of the state youth policy.

information world is one of the positive consequences of the active use of the information
technologies and the networks. But there are also negative sides: a person with unformed
ideological views, civic identities and limited knowledge and understanding of the
current political issues at times cannot make the right choice struggling to distinguish
between the fake and reality in the information and communication flow in the internet.
In addition, in the internet various political forces, including radical, extremist, compete
