Abstract

The religious conversion of women from the Orthodox to the Islamic religion has become widespread in recent years and has received a strong social reaction from the population. Especially when demonstrating the process of religious conversion by women on the Internet. The article presents the results of a content analysis of comments and reactions of YouTube video hosting users to videos about the transition of women from the Orthodox to the Muslim religion. The study revealed the size and emotional coloring of the comments and responses to them. The relevance of comments and responses in relation to the topic of the video, the form and color of communication (type of interaction) between participants, and the type of reaction to comments (graphical, textual, or no reaction) were investigated. The results of this study will help to understand the mechanisms of forming public reactions to women's religious conversion, the significance of digital communications, and the logic of interaction between participants in the online space on this topic.
