( Pp. 108-112)

Problem − this article examines the issues of legal regulation of access to information both at the international level and in the Russian Federation. The author’s research is based on the materials of foreign scientists studying the issues of transparency, freedom of information, electronic government, right of access to information - C. Bishop, I. Zabara, M. Zubova, M. Pogorelova, A. Smirnov etc., as well as international agreements, legislation and case law of the foreign countries, materials of the official websites of the relevant public authorities. Materials and methods − The author has used scientific methods of knowledge: analysis, comparison, legal modeling, as well as historical and legal and comparative legal methods. Conclusions − The author concluded that currently free access to information in Russia is difficult for several reasons, and the state needs to focus all efforts on development of access infrastructure, as well as to overcome the development gap between the center and the regions. At the same time, the author comes to the conclusion that the problems of the implementation of the right of access to information are global and not specific to Russia. Practical implications − conclusions and recommendations can be used in efforts to improve legislation on access to information, in further research on this issue, as well as in the educational process.
