Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to assess the level of development of the digital economy and the digital society in the Russian Federation, as well as identify the main trends and challenges. The analysis has shown that the level of development of the digital economy and the digital society in the Russian Federation is at an average level compared to the world’s most competitive economies in terms of digitization. Despite progress in the development of the digital economy and the digital socjety in the Russian Federation under the digitization program, there are still many areas for improvement and further action. The government’s digitalization program and the projects it contains are important, but the economic downturn in the Russian Federation, caused by, among other things, the Covid-19 pandemic, and internal system conditions are not conducive to their implementation in accordance with accepted assumptions and timeframes (many of the objectives of the projects included in the program have been put forward to 2030). Progress in the digitalization of the Russian Federation for the economy and society will be visible in the long term.
