The rapid development of communication systems and the use of computer equipment for the exchange of information lead to the emergence of new social relations that require criminal law protection. The Russian Federation does not stay away from this, and although it joined the high tech race late, the development of its legal norms in this sphere follows global trends. Law aimed at counteracting cybercrimes is no exception. The emergence of the global information space gives rise to previously unknown threats to national and international security. Key characteristics of information space, such as its trans-border character, anonymity, speed, difficulty of identifying the actor in the network have led to the growth in the number of IT users and increased the attractiveness of the information infrastructure from the standpoint of using the Internet for criminal purposes. Counteracting these threats has become an important element of the complex of measures to ensure security at the national and the global levels. The authors of the article present the comparative evaluation of the level of cyber-threats in Russia, offer a generalized assessment of the place that cybercrimes hold among other global threats and of the economic damage inflicted by cybercrimes. They examine the key sources of cyber threats, the critical problems and technologies. The authors also make a prediction of the possible threats associated with the introduction of artificial intelligence systems. Besides, they carry out the analysis of the current criminal law norms which prohibit illegal activities in the Internet and pay attention to the debatable scientific and practical issues.

The paper provides an analytical review of the most significant socio-economic initiatives of the Russian Federation over the past 20 years. The considered period of time is divided into intervals due to the introduction of sanctions by foreign states against the Russian Federation after reunion with Crimea. The complex of strategies of the pre-sanction period, including the doubling of GDP and the "May" decrees of the Russian President in 2012, were mainly related to domestic politics and, in general, were not fully implemented. In particular, the goal of doubling the GDP was only half completed. The trajectory of the Russian Federation as an energy power faced geopolitical confrontation in the European market, which led to the cancellation and complications in the implementation of the South Stream and Nord Stream 2 transnational gas pipeline projects. The anti-crisis strategy of import substitution proclaimed after the announcement of sanctions against the Russian Federation ended with very modest results, although initially it assumed a rise in the development of high-tech industries. The goal-setting of 2018 in the form of national projects and its further revision in 2020 led to an unfinished reboot of the guidelines for domestic socio-economic development. In the face of acute foreign policy confrontation, the Russian Federation demonstrates a high solidarity with global development initiatives, including the Paris Agreement on Climate, as well as antiquated policies and mass vaccination of the population. Despite the already incurred and expected socio-economic damage from joining global development initiatives, this line of behavior of the Russian Federation is sustainable. The analysis of the rhetoric in the national security strategy of the Russian Federation, which has been dynamically changing after 2014, shows the strengthening of the orientation of the Russian Federation towards the East (India, China), as well as an emphasis on the movement towards unity with the Belarusian and Ukrainian peoples.

Religious extremism is a very dangerous form of extremism. Awareness of this phenomenon is a complex methodological task, as the phenomenon is multifaceted, dynamically changing and not amenable to the usual scientific and analytical research.

The paper analyzes various types of threats in the commission of a crime under Article 163 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, using information and telecommunication networks (ITS), including the Internet. The problematic issues in classification of the acts under consideration, caused by the lack of criminal law protection of property relations in case of encroachments using ITS, are identified. The increased public danger of the threat of using information and telecommunication networks, including the Internet, when disseminating information that dishonors the victim or his relatives, or other information that may cause significant harm to the rights or legitimate interests of the victim or his relatives is substantiated. It is concluded that it is necessary to supplement the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation with new norms aimed at eliminating the gap in the criminal legal protection of property relations in case of encroachments in a way, the danger of which is due to the rapid development of information technologies.

This article shows that an important role in the legal protection of the digital economy is played by modern criminal law, which is designed to form a system of legal mechanisms to ensure the protection of society from digital property crimes. The new mechanism of criminal legal protection should ensure effective counteraction to both real and potential criminal threats in the emerging digital reality. It is proved that in the context of digitalization, there is a need for a radical reform of Chapter 21 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. Alternative directions for improving the criminal law provisions on liability for crimes against property are proposed. One of the author's options is to build new separate structures of property crimes property abuses and other violations in the field of information and telecommunications networks, including the Internet. Another is the allocation of an independent group of property crimes in the field of the digital economy within the framework of Chapter 21 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, and accordingly the division of the chapter into two groups: property crimes against property (theft of other people's property, illegal possession of a vehicle, destruction and damage to other people's property) and crimes against property in the field of information and telecommunications networks.
