Enhancing the effectiveness of legal information dissemination among the population under conditions of a special military operation

the article addresses the challenge of enhancing the effectiveness of legal information dissemination among the population during a special military operation – a period marked by abrupt legislative changes, restricted access to traditional information sources, and heightened legal vulnerability of citizens. The author identifies key challenges facing the current system of legal education, including the fragmented legal regulatory framework, digital inequality, insufficient adaptation of content for general audiences, and limited engagement of mass media. Taking into account the provisions of the “Strategy for the State National Policy of the Russian Federation until 2036,” particular emphasis is placed on the role of mass media as an institution of national security and as a vehicle for fostering an all-Russian civic identity. Based on an analysis of current practices and theoretical approaches, the article proposes concrete measures to optimize legal information dissemination under these exceptional conditions, including the development of a single regulatory act, the creation of a coordination center for legal education and the introduction of targeted formats for socially vulnerable groups. Special attention is paid to the integration of new territories into the unified legal space of Russia.
