Abstract

The article analyzes the historiographical aspects of the development of a new scientific field at the Institute of State and Law of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Scientific School of Information Law, as well as the development of research on legal issues of national and international information security. The priorities of the development of Information Law in the context of new challenges, the expansion of the legal dimension and the goals of Russia’s development in the light of ensuring its national sovereignty in the information sphere, cybersecurity and countering cybercrime are investigated. All this is conditioned by the need to solve strategic tasks of ensuring national and international information security as one of the priorities of state policy in the information sphere. In this regard, the importance of information and legal support for the new national project “Data Economics and Digital Transformation of the State” was noted.

The development of the doctrine of Russian Information Law as a public-law (state-legal) branch (law, legislation and science) today is determined by the goals of Russia’s development, the need for legal support for national sovereignty in the information sphere in the context of digital transformation. Information Law is considered by the authors as a basic branch for the development of legal regulation of new information relations, information (digital) spaces, as well as countering modern information challenges and threats to the state, society and citizens. The features and problems of legal support of information sovereignty and information security of the Russian Federation are investigated. The importance of codification of information legislation is substantiated and the problems associated with the development of codes necessary to streamline information legislation, including in order to achieve information sovereignty of the Russian Federation, the development of the data economy and the digital transformation of the state, are considered.

Based on the analysis of the state and development of the science of Information Law at the Institute of State and Law of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the role of the Information Law and international information security sector in the development of the theoretical model of the Information Code and the assessment of the problems of developing a Digital Code is substantiated.
