Recent years have witnessed the effectiveness of political public relations in influencing public opinion and election results. The unpredictable support of Donald Trump in the US presidential election, the unexpected vote for Brexit in the UK and the victory of former comedian Volodymyr Zelensky in the Ukrainian presidential election might serve as the examples. The public relations research shows the uncertainty about the impact of social media and other online communication platforms on building strong connections between political subjects and society. The aim of this study is to reveal and evaluate the nature, methods and impact of the mechanism of political relations with the public to the society in general, and in social networks in particular.Statistical research and open source analysis were used as the main methods of this study.

More and more social media occupies a significant part of political communication and forms ideas that are later perceived and relayed by the society.This paper identifies the main mechanisms and technologies that modern politicians use to achieve their political goals. A method of using a banner on Facebook to form a political agenda, mood and ideas was described. The influence of the used technologies, the reasons and consequences of use of these technologies in the environment of social networks were estimated.The Facebook page of V. Zelensky was analyzed. The use of political ideas in the 2019 election campaign and the formation of public relations were assessed. Indicators of the growing popularity of political ideas and key technologies used to achieve this goal were identified. The degree of assimilation of the image of V. Zelensky as a president in society was revealed. Also, the growing trend of Ukrainian society's involvement in the political life of the state during the elections was characterized.

The main objective of this paper is to identify the platforms and social media tools utilized by the brewing industry in communication with the stakeholders, mainly with potential clients. In addition, the study sought to determine the nature of the published content, identify those responsible for their management, and present the advantages and disadvantages of their conduct in communication and creating the image of the company. The results indicate that only 25% of the surveyed companies do not use social media in PR. This applies only to small enterprises, with regional character. All the major brewing companies in their public relations activities use at least one type of social media, focusing in most cases on social networking (Facebook) and Video Sharing (YouTube). In addition, some of the largest brands included in the individual equity groups have their own social media channels used to communicate with the stakeholders. General promotion of company products and, what is very important, creating a dialogue with social media platform community, were seen as the most important benefits of using social media.
