Abstract
Today's youth, being a keyactor in the use of digital technologies, prefers digital participation in the political sphere of society. The main practices used by young people in their online participation are marginal. The marginality of the political practices of youth is revealed in their hybridity, which manifests itself in the binary of normativity - abnormality, norm - deviation, etc. Using the trend-watching method in the course of the research made it possible to identify the nonlinear and virulent nature of the marginal practices of youth, which makes it difficult to predict their impact, that, according to the authors, actualizes the need to identify the value foundations of their application. Content analysis of young people (18-30 years old) accounts in social networks, Instagram and Youtube channels of public opinion leaders revealed such value foundations of marginal political practices of young people as: patriotism, solidarity, non-violence, participation and independence.The nature of the identified axiological foundations made it possible to draw a conclusion about the transition from the traditional values of political participation of young people to the values of self-expression, the acquisition and implementation of civic subjectivity.

As a result of Internet surfing through the channels, vlogs and accounts of public opinion leaders, young people get a more detailed picture of what is happening in the political sphere.And under the influence of the received ideas, they make a decision to defend their interests in extra-institutional ways
Summary
The development of digital technologies allows the political sphere to become more accessible and democratic This fact erases the social and age restrictions on the possibility of participation and "entry" into it. Young people, being the most active social-age group, show an increased interest in political communication in the digital space. By the marginal political practices of youth, we mean a form of non-institutionalized interaction that arises in the digital space and is implimented in reality, the result of which is the reproduction and transfiguration of social-political relations by young people, the acquisition of civic identity and the realization of civic subjectivity. The digital space is positioned as the main practice stage Owing to this fact, the marginality of the political practices of young people is revealed in their transboundary and hybrid nature. The diffusion of facts appeals to emotions and personal faith, rational and irrational, truth and fiction forms the practice of fake news
