The aim of the study. The aim of the study is a statistical analysis of the accessibility and the use of information and communication technologies for the population and households based on the developed integrated indices in the regional aspect.Fundamental international documents refer to the increasing role of information in all spheres of society, and indicate that the number of the poorest households with, for example, a mobile phone is higher than that with the access to clean drinking water.Thus, it can be noted that the level of accessibility and use of information and communication technologies is a priority for the development of both individual countries and the world community as a whole.Materials and methods. Methods of grouping and multidimensional classification, analysis of variation, normalizing, construction of multidimensional averages and correlation analysis, as well as tabular and graphical methods of visual representation of the results of the study were used as statistical tools for the study. Microsoft Excel was used to process the primary information.Results. Comparison of currently used indicators has revealed the need to develop and build integrated indices in four main areas of ICT research: infrastructure (physical and information), ICT accessibility (physical and price affordability), the use of ICT (by the population and households, enterprises and organizations, in the public sector), knowledge and skills (education, digital skills). In this study, the analysis was carried out according to the characteristics of the accessibility and the use of ICT for the population and households. The results of the study at the federal district level led to the conclusion that, despite the existence of a unified policy in the field of ICT development and information society at the federal level, there are significant differences in the management of this process and the level of implementation of system development measures for ICT in individual federal districts and regions. The main result of the study is the classification of regions by levels of accessibility and use of ICT. The analysis revealed a significant direct relationship between the components of ICT accessibility and its use. The ratings based on the calculated multidimensional averages allowed us to reveal the leader and lagging regions of the Russian Federation in terms of the development of ICT and information society.Conclusion. According to the results of the statistical research positions of regions of the Russian Federation on the accessibility levels and the use of information and communication technologies were determined, as well as a direct relationship between the indices of accessibility and the use of ICT was revealed as a whole in the Russian Federation, and in individual federal districts.

Purpose of the study. Information and communication technologies are becoming a powerful tool for the development of electronic business. Today, the leaders in the global economic and political space are precisely those countries that have learned to determine the vector of development of information technologies and use new opportunities for their application. The development of innovative digital technologies in Russia and in the world is widely discussed in the framework of various discussion platforms. In particular, at the International Forum “The Digital Future of the Global Economy” (January 31, 2020 Almaty), digitalization of trade processes between the EAEU membercountries became one of the main topics. The annual Tech Week conference (Moscow) is becoming a traditional place for discussing the implementation of innovative technologies in business, as well as for the exchange of experience of leading Russian and world corporations in the field of electronic business. In this regard, there is a need for a comprehensive statistical assessment of the development level of electronic business of the territory.Materials and methods. The research was based on the data of the Federal State Statistics Service for 2018 for the regions of the Volga federal district, and the results of monitoring the development of the information society in the Russian Federation. As a tool for assessing the degree of digitalization of business in the regions of the Volga federal district, the graphic polygon (radar) method is used.Results. The article provides a retrospective analysis of the stages of development of electronic business in Russia. Among the characteristic features of the modern stage of its development are the mass introduction of Internet technologies and the transformation of traditional business methods. The introduction of advanced information and communication technologies contributes to greater involvement of the business sector in electronic business. In terms of the level of development of information and communication technologies (ICT Development Index), Russia ranks 45th among the countries of the world. For the period 2010 - 2018 the development of electronic business in Russia has a positive trend. According to the results of 2018, the volume of the Russian e-commerce market amounted to 1280 billion rubles, or 4.1% of the total trade turnover. According to forecast estimates, by 2023 the volume of Russian e-commerce market will grow to 8.5% of the total turnover and amount to 2780 billion rubles. An integrated assessment of the development level of electronic business was carried out according to sixteen local criteria. As a result of calculating the private and local ranks of the values of the relevant criteria, fourteen polygons of the level of development of electronic business were constructed by the number of regions of the Volga federal district. The results obtained allow us to state the existence of a high degree of heterogeneity of the regions of the Volga federal district according to the integral indicator under study. Among the leading regions in terms of electronic business development are the Republic of Tatarstan, Perm krai and Nizhny Novgorod region. Outsider regions – the Mari El Republic, the Republic of Mordovia, and the Kirov region – are characterized by a low percentage of organizations that used the capabilities of the Intranet and Extranet, the absence of special software for managing sales of goods (works, services), and limited use of software, in particular ERP, CRM and SCM systems.Conclusion. The widespread use of information and communication technologies entails the expansion of opportunities and improving the quality of coordination of business activities. We should remember that if modern business cannot quickly adapt to the new requirements of the digital economy, then it risks becoming uncompetitive. The results of the study revealed a differentiation in the development of electronic business in the regions of the Volga federal district. A similar situation is observed in most constituent entities of the Russian Federation and is due in many respects to specific reasons for each region. The timely fulfillment of the goals and objectives of digital transformations in the Russian Federation reflected in the Digital Economy of the Russian Federation Program and other regulatory documents will help to smooth out the existing imbalances.

Introduction. One of the components of the national security of the Russian Federation is information security. In the context of the information society in the Russian Federation, the role of the information component of national security has increased significantly. There are new challenges and threats to the information security of the Russian Federation, which require the reaction of the legislator. However, the conditions of globalization require States to take joint measures to address such a complex problem as information security. Consequently, international information security cannot be achieved by a single state. It is necessary to consolidate efforts and develop a uniform approach to this issue. Theoretical Basis. Methods. The Information society is characterized by a high level of development of information and communication technologies and their use in almost all spheres of life. The emergence of the global information society, the increased role of information and information and communication technologies have stimulated the adoption of a number of international legal instruments in this area. In addition, a number of other guidance documents have been developed and adopted that define the ways and directions of law-making and cooperation at the level of regional organizations. Their distinctive feature was the realization of the lack of unified and clear conceptual and categorical apparatus. This also applies to the concept of “information security”, a unified approach to the understanding of which is not available at the international level. General scientific methods (materialistic dialectics) and private scientific methods: formallogical, comparative-legal, historical-legal. Results. Currently, at the international level, there is not only no legal act regulating issues in the field of criminal law protection of information security, but also there is no common understanding of information security, its main threats of possible joint measures to prevent and eliminate them. Discussion and Conclusion. As the interstate information confrontation will continue and gain new momentum, there is an urgent need for the adoption of an international legal act aimed at the criminal law protection of information security, containing the classification of crimes against information security and recommendations to States on the criminalization of acts against information security in national legislation.

The current stage in the development of the world community is characterized by high rates of development of digital technologies and their practical implementation in many areas of life. The purpose of the paper is the analysis of the system for monitoring for the development of the information society and the digital economy, both in the Russian Federation and abroad. The role of international organizations in creating methodological foundations for the study of the implementation of information technology has been revealed in the article. The chronology of the development and implementation of the main regulatory documents, on the basis of which data is being collected on countries and their comparison, has been considered. Particular attention to the study of Russia’s place in the ratings compiled by various international organizations has been paid. A system of indicators of a national system for monitoring the development of the digital economy has been adduced, which reflects the development factors of the information society and the use of information and communication technologies. The dynamics of the gross value added of the ICT sector of the Russian economy and the number of people employed in the information and communication technologies sector have been analysed. Significant variability in the intensity of the dynamics indicators, reflecting various aspects of the development of the information society, as well as a significant lag of Russia from the leading countries in certain areas of the ICT sector, have been identified. It has been shown that the key task aimed at correcting this situation is to improve the investment climate in the information and communication technologies sector. At the same time, the imperfection of the methodology for monitoring the development of the information society and the digital economy does not allow us to take timely measures to regulate digitalization processes. It has been concluded that it is necessary to continue work on improving indicators for monitoring the implementation of the government program “Digital Economy of the Russian Federation”.

The political instrumentalization of the history of Ukraine carried out by the Russian Federation in the framework of the information war against Ukraine is covered in this article. This instrumentalization is exercised through media communication employing historical and political myths and narratives to vindicate Russia’s aggressive actions. The latest information and communication technologies used by the Kremlin in the information war against Ukraine have been identified in this paper. Such destructive efforts often derail Ukrainian-Polish relations, which are particularly sensitive to historical and political issues. The reasons for the drawbacks of the Ukrainian authorities in counteracting the information aggression on the part of the Russian Federation are distinguished, and the measures that would contribute to an effective response to such aggression are outlined.
