Abstract

The relevance of the study is explained by the growing popularity of a political Internet, thanks to which all politicians, regardless of age and status, are able to address an audience directly without resorting to intermediaries such as the media. Taking into account the main goal of political communication – the manipulation of public consciousness, it seems especially relevant to find out what persuasive strategies politicians use to manipulate public opinion and convince their audiences of the correctness of their judgments as made opportune by the political Internet. Thus, in the present study, an attempt has been made to answer the question as to whether there are differences in the strategies and tactics of persuasion used in the personal blogs of two generations of politicians. Using the methods of computer linguistics, analyzed were ten personal blogs of politicians of different age. The study found that both young and more experienced politicians with varying degrees of intensity resort to employing all the analyzed strategies and persuasion tactics. The most popular tactics found in the blogs of the younger generation of politicians were call‑for‑action tactics, and in the blogs of their older colleagues – the tactics of incrimination.
