Abstract: The purpose of this study is to determine the role and legal status of the Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information Technology and Mass Media (Roskomnadzor) among federal executive bodies in the system of state regulation of the "digital sovereignty" in Russia. Research Methodology: The study utilized general scientific methods - analysis, synthesis, and generalization - to detail Roskomnadzor's powers related to regulating the "digital sovereignty" in Russia. A comparative legal analysis was used to examine international practice. A formal legal approach was used in this study to examine current Russian legislation in this area. Conclusions: The study identified the key characteristics of the concept of "digital sovereignty" identified the government bodies involved in shaping Russia's digital sovereignty, analyzed the powers of these bodies, and defined the role of the Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information Technology and Mass Media (Roskomnadzor) as one of the most important government bodies in the mechanism for creating digital sovereignty.
