The reasons for the protest movements are: low efficiency of law enforcement agencies; lumpenization, strengthening social contradictions; fighting government forces; humanitarian crisis of values. Tactical media appear in depressive conditions of social development. New media are used as a tool of political control in the interaction between the subjects in communication technologies as a means of mobilization, which is a set of procedures, operations, methods of achieving political goals, especially at a crucial turning point. New mobilization technologies are used in different countries and often aimed at destabilizing, change of government and political elites.
