Therefore, the development of principles and management mechanisms capable of ensuring the coexistence of different cultural communities remains relevant for political-administrative systems. This is an essential condition for socio-political stability. The article is aimed at exploring the potential of the digital space for the formation of intercultural dialogue in the digital space contributing to the provision and maintenance of socio-political stability.

According to the main conclusion of the analysis, the digital space creates completely new opportunities for building an intercultural dialogue, which political-administrative systems cannot ignore, striving for socio-political stability.
