F o r c i t a t i o n : Vorob’ev S.M., Mel’nikova O.V., Ivliev P.V. Digital transformation of the modern Russian state: current issues of statutory regulation, Penitentiary Science, 2022, vol. 16, no. 1 (57), pp. 8–18. doi: 10.46741/2686-9764.2022.57.1.001.
Introduction: the paper reveals essence of digital transformation of the state and its impact on Russian citizens. Taking into account modern trends in the development of information policy that meet security interests and social needs, the authors assess a new direction in the development of state information policy – digital transformation. The researchers substantiate the need to improve the legal mechanism in modern information and technological relations in terms of theoretical and legal understanding. Task: to conduct a comprehensive analysis of legal regulation of the institute of digital transformation of key spheres of life of Russian society. Methods: the article uses modern general scientific and special methods of cognition, such as analysis, synthesis, structural-functional, normative-logical, complex and legal norm interpretation methods. Results: an e-state reflects key functions of a modern state. A balanced state information policy can transform the state mechanism in the information space. Digital transformation is the crucial development vector of modern Russian information policy. These processes should be focused on population, in term of providing high-quality services based on information technology. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the pace of society digitalization, contributed to creation of a unified state system of user identification and predetermined a qualitatively new technological development of various spheres of life. Conclusions: to promote an information society, it is necessary to set up an effective information protection system for individuals and legal entities. Due to insufficient development of the regulatory framework in the field of digital transformation, the Russian state and society will experience certain difficulties in the future due to the risk of information security maladaptation.
Keywords: Digital transformation; information policy; digital maturity; information society; artificial intelligence; information risks; state; population; economy; penal enforcement system.
