The Current State of Digital Economy in Russia and the Prospects of its Development

Relevances. The world economy is at a point of bifurcation, and, therefore, the path of further development of the entire civilization is not defined. Many politicians talk about cardinal changes that should replace the existing model of the development of society. We can only say with some certainty that if civilization emerges from a series of intensifying crises, contradictions, and local wars that can develop into global clashes of contradictions between the ruling elites, then as a result of global transformations we will enter a new technological era in which digital technologies will play the main role. This will cause the need for a fundamental revision of many common human values of our civilization and economic systems.
The purpose of the study was the predictive assessment of the control actions' effectiveness in the face of challenges and threats to the development of Russia's national security based on the formation of objective ideas about the possibilities and problems of implementing the digitalization policy in the country.
Objectives: consider the digitalization process in our country; analyze world experience and propose promising ways to solve the existing negative trends.
Metodology. The research used methods of structural and system analysis, methods of statistical analysis, and the foundations of management theory.
Results. The beginning of a new stage in the development of civilization, the digitalization of life, is considered to be from 2015, when Professor K. Schwab, speaking at the Davos Forum, said about the beginning of the fourth industrial revolution, which is characterized by the convergence of three technologies: physical, digital, and biological. These are new opportunities for society, but since digitalization requires a completely new approach to learning and a new level of knowledge, this will cause a significant increase in the unemployment rate at the beginning of fundamental changes in the economy, and, therefore, will be a source of social tension.
Conclusions. Information and telecommunication technologies are fundamentally changing our lives and, at the same time, have generated new threats to national security, and the entire system of globalization of the information space. Only competent use of opportunities will allow our state not only to timely implement digital technologies in life, but also to take a worthy place in the modern world.
