“Strategy of national security of the Russian Federation till 2020” is the main
document guarantying constructional cooperation of public authorities, or-
ganizations and public associations to defend national interests of Russia. In
connection with this Strategy technologies and technical, program, linguistic,
legal, organizational means, including telecommunication channels used in
the system of national security for gathering, formation, processing, trans-
mission or reception of the information in the national security conditions
and its strengthening measures belong to means of the national security as-
surance as it was noticed in this Strategy.
At the present time Russian superior functionaries have personal sites and
blogs on the Internet following examples of Dmitry Medvedev and Vladimir
Putin. All federal public authorities have and actively use sites and portals.
The process of activation of executive authorities was stimulated in this case
by juridical intervention according the initiative of public associations. Al-
most all Subjects of the Russian Federation are also presented on the Internet
by means of websites. And that is a characteristic trait of the information
society in the country.
It is obvious that the development of information technologies in Public
Governance is closely associated with the administrative reform begun in
2004. There is a problem of coordination measures of informatization and the
State apparatus. It had fulfilled an important work on separation of public
power bodies’ activity to realize public functions and to provide public ser-
vices for citizens. This standard is mainly consolidated in the administrative
rules of procedure ratified by authorities. The present period’s question is a
necessity of putting in practice of electronic administrative rules of proce-
dure. The legislative support of these directions is represented by the Federal
Law “About providing of access to information about activity of State and
local self-government bodies” (2009), Federal Law “About organization and
giving of State and municipal services” (2010).
It should be mentioned that there is a deterrent factor. The question is the
legalization of using electronic documents and electronic signature; in spite
of the fact that the Federal Law “On the electronic digital signature” was
adopted in Russia in 2002, in 2011 the forms of electronic signature were
increased (a new Federal Law “About electronic signature”), there is no
unique normative base for electronic document circulation. The public opin-
ion considers that the united forms of electronic documents is able to speed
up the process of innovations in activity of public and local power bodies,
