“…At the same time, in the "subspace of risk", which we consider as an asymmetrical structure of production, reproduction, ranking and distribution of threats and risks, functioning simultaneously as a tool and goal of struggle in the field of information [27], the blocking and replacement of informational feedback is ever increasing; the same goes for the increasing prominence of information dumps and provocations, as well as threats and manipulation of dangerous attitudes. We can agree with Evstafiev D. that "the networked information society has demonstrated the absence of built-in mechanisms to protect society from informational manipulation.…”

The article problematizes a range of issues related to the emergence of new mechanisms of risk-reflective legitimization / delegitimization of information control over the spread of a pandemic in the context of Covid-19, taking into account the antagonistic definitions of its threats and dangers. The main substantive task of the study is to analyze the conceptual model of classification of various types of risk reflections - communicative, autonomous, critical, and disturbed, which adjust the hierarchies of the significance and social acceptability of risks. The authors focus on the features of the behavior of a modern social subject in the conditions of uncoupling of risky communications depending on the interpretation of information about risks. The conflict potential of information flows that impose forms of risk perception and risk behavior, the mechanisms of formation of information inequality of reflection of risks and social information exclusion in the policy of distribution and compensation of risk are revealed. The article argues that the inability to appropriate the constructive elements of risk reflections in the strategy of information management of threats destroys the security. The article proves that in the information field, the risk subspace is an asymmetric structure of production, reproduction, ranking and distribution of threats and risks, functioning simultaneously as a tool and a goal of struggle. The authors argue that incorrect attributive judgments and interpretations of the threats and dangers of the pandemic can escalate social and political conflicts.

The article considers the specifics and role of risk reflections in the adaptation to new threats and dangers in the contemporary realities. The authors argue that traditional risk-analysis strategies partially reflect the qualitative changes in the impact of the perception of threats by risk consumers, risk producers, risk beneficiaries and risk outsiders on their behavior. The authors emphasize the importance of analyzing the ‘dominant narrative’ of risks for assessing their social acceptability/ unacceptability for various interest groups. The initial methodological provisions of the article are the distinction between “positive and negative privilege” proposed by M. Weber, theoretical and practical explications of the contemporary concepts of choosing reflexive strategies for adapting to threats as a criterion for success or failure in life, and promising strategies for the formation of a positive or negative ‘risk’ identity. The empirical section of the article presents the results of the applied research conducted by the authors on the equipment of the Resource Center of the Science Park of the Saint Petersburg State University “Sociological and Internet Studies” (all-Russian telephone survey and focus groups). The authors conducted qualitative analysis to identify factors affecting the attitudes towards main threats and their influence on the ability to control and prevent risks and on the processes of adaptation and self-preservation. The article stresses the importance of P. Sztompka research program of trust as a means of reducing uncertainty and neutralizing risks (grounds for classifying reflexive strategies for avoiding uncertainty, influence of individual social-demographic characteristics of risk consumers on their choice). The analysis of the empirical data showed that the spread of one or another model of behavior in the risk society is a mobilization resource for strengthening political positions. Therefore, ‘failures’ in risk management determine a special type of social stratification - relationship of risk beneficiaries and risk outsiders, who have specific interests, opportunities and limitations of their adaptation strategies in a situation of threat.

— The new design of the relationship between risk reflection and information management, the formation of trust in information in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, and information parameters of the coronavirus crisis were investigated here. An analysis of the characteristics of the information interpretation conflict of risks and dangers has been carried out and a typology of risk reflections in assessing information about coronavirus has been proposed. The conflict potential of information flows that impose forms of risk perception and risk behavior, the mechanisms of formation of information inequality in the reflection of risks and the exclusion of social information in the policy of distribution and compensation of risk are revealed. Theoretical foundations for measuring behavior depending on the interpretation of information about risks are proposed, possible information tactics for risk management during conflicting interpretations are structured, and the characteristics of institutional failures in the field of information risk management are revealed.
