DIGITAL SOVEREIGNTY OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION AND STATE SOVEREIGNTY

The author correlates the categories of «digital sovereignty of the Russian Federation» and «state sovereignty». The emphasis is placed on the fact that the interpretation of Russian legislation does not allow us to unequivocally state the content of the digital sovereignty of the Russian Federation. It is argued that state sovereignty should be considered as a universal quality in the singular (as a completed process – a static state), everything else can be described as areas of its manifestation (what is in the process of formation and creation is an unfinished process), and therefore the concept of «digital sovereignty» is not a special sovereignty, but only one of the areas of state sovereignty. It is concluded that neither the digital sovereignty of the Russian Federation nor technological sovereignty can be considered as something separate from state sovereignty and cannot be greater than or equal to it in terms of their content. There is a need for a holistic study of the patterns of formation of the digital independence of the state, which involves the construction of a conceptual model of the digital sovereignty of the Russian Federation and the formation of a structural and systemic understanding of it
