Abstract

Purpose The purpose of the work is to analyze the information and legal concepts of e-Russia as a new interdisciplinary scientific concept, which is currently just beginning to be developed. The information and legal concepts of e-Russia are understood as concepts emerging in the process of legal influence on the information sphere, which create the basic conditions for the progressive and harmonious development of Russian society in the 21st century. Methodology The article uses the dialectical, synergistic methodology and philosophical concepts. Results Information and legal concepts allow person to explore the world of the information society in a holistic and multidimensional form. They are formed on the borders of the information and legal space. The author considers mainly basic concepts: «information», «information society», «e-commerce», «e-democracy», «e-state», «e-parliament», «e-government» and «e-justice». It is noted that the concept of information can be adequately explained only in the synthesis of the material and the ideal. The information society has several probabilistic ways of development, due to the presence of the uncertainty effect of information and the choice of appropriate options for removing this uncertainty, obtaining new knowledge. Because of the fact that the information society has a number of subsystems, including economics and politics, special attention is paid to the concepts of e-commerce and e-democracy and the problems of their implementation in Russia. The author states that the e-state and its three components: E-parliament, e-government and e-justice should be interpreted from the position of optimizing the forms and methods of performing their functions using information technologies. Conclusions In modern conditions, it is relevant and necessary to understand other concepts that develop and specify basic information and legal concepts, which can constitute the prospect for further research.
