The complete digitalization of social relations brings with it challenges and threats in relation to people’s rights and freedoms. In order to address these, a draft concept for securing the rights and freedoms of people in Russia’s digital realm was drawn up. Feedback from federal government bodies over the past year was then used to improve the document. The need to counter cyberthreats in the interests of national security is outlined in both the Russian constitution, and Russia’s strategic planning documents; however, these threats are not specified. What’s more, the aforementioned documents do not set out principles, goals, objectives, and mechanisms for ensuring the protection of human and civil rights and freedoms in Russia’s digital realm. How will the proposed draft concept address these problems, and can it serve as a foundation for the further implementation of Russia’s legal policy with regard to digitalization?
