AB  - In the presented study, theoretical and methodological aspects of network communities
positioning in the institutional system of the Russian society are considered. Based on the analysis of concepts
“information-oriented society”, “network communications”, “web communities”, “network communication”,
introduced in the sociological discourse, authors substantiate the conclusion that it is necessary to study the
network community within the framework of the neoinstitutional approach, the interpretation of the network
community as an institution, directed on the reproduction of “freedom of communication”, mutual
understanding, frame discussion on the basis of non-formal regulators, initiated by the network community
core. Network communities included in the institutional system of the society can represent an alternative to
formal institutions have a positive impact if they coincide with interests of a real social or professional
community and negative in a situation of the virtual space referentiality in relation to a social reality.
