Political technologies represent an essential tool in the process of managing political processes and addressing specific issues within the scope of power. They encompass a set of methods and strategies aimed at the effective use of resources and influencing political dynamics. These technologies play a key role in decision-making, conflict resolution, and establishing communications, demonstrating a more detailed level of political dependencies and connections. In the post-Soviet space, political technologies are often associated with the manipulation of public opinion and artificial management of political processes. These technologies can be used both to create positive and destructive political effects, influencing social and political stability. This work primarily focuses on the theoretical and methodological foundations of political technology research, as well as its application in forming long-term political strategies and managing political reality.
