The Digital Code of Russia: Current State and Prospects
( Pp. 34-39)

The article examines the expediency and timeliness of the creation and adoption of the Digital Code of Russia in the context of the current state of scientific thought and prospects from the point of view of the importance, necessity, need for answers to the questions posed in the article for the development of society, and the need to study some approaches of foreign legal systems to the issue under study and the resolution of controversial legal and ethical questions arising as a result of the development of both new technologies and scientific and technological progress in general. The scientific novelty is due to the subject of the study and a set of legal approaches reflected in already adopted regulations and their projects (for example, the «Digital Administrative Code» of Italy and the Model Information Code for CIS member States and foreign initiatives). Among the conclusions reached by the author, the opinion that, in general, supporting the idea of this codification, we consider it necessary to pay attention to the way of construction of some of its sections and the idea as a whole, and to a number of problems that require urgent solutions.
