本文比较了俄罗斯联邦共产党和英国自由民主党的网络存在，以分析互联网加强政党作为政治机构的能力，并反思不同类型政权中在线政党的相对民主价值。文章通过分析在线受众、网络链接、缔约方发布的内容以及与双方链接的用户生成的材料，对2010年初的政党网站进行了比较。研究发现，尽管普遍存在强大的信息传播工具和社交网络机会，但政党沟通的在线潜力与国家政治文化的联系要比与一般网络文化的联系紧密得多。共产党的网络活动倾向于与党的线下活动平行，未能塑造一个更现代或更具包容性的政党。与此同时，英国自由民主党的支持者更多地利用外部社交网络，显然与更广泛的政治领域有更多的联系，尽管这可能是以牺牲党的品牌和控制为代价的。研究结果表明，有必要了解国家政治组织和态度如何在塑造网络领域的民主化力量方面发挥比技术潜力更强大的作用。
This article compares the web presence of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation and the British Liberal Democrats in order both to analyse the ability of the internet to strengthen parties as political institutions as well as to reflect upon the relative democratic value of parties online in different types of regimes. The article compares the party websites in early 2010 through an analysis of online audience, web links, content posted by parties and user-generated material linked to the two parties. The research found that the online potential of party communication, despite the universal availability of powerful tools of information distribution and social networking opportunities, was far more closely tied to national political culture than to cyber-culture in general. The Communist Party web activity tended to parallel the party activity offline, failing to craft the appearance of a more modern or inclusive party. At the same time, supporters of the British Liberal Democrats made greater use of external social networking and were apparently more connected with the broader political sphere, although perhaps at the expense of party branding and control. The findings demonstrate the need to understand how national political organisations and attitudes can play a much stronger role than technological potential in shaping the democratising forces of the online sphere.
