Abstract: The article examines counter–sanction information - a new category or type of information for domestic information and legal regulation. The concept of "counter-sanction information" appeared in the legislation in connection with the increased sanctions pressure of foreign states on the Russian Federation at the beginning of 2022. Regulation of the procedure for the dissemination of such information is designed to reduce the risks of taking restrictive measures against Russian legal entities and individuals who are participants in foreign economic activity.
The author examines these norms on information, in particular the definition, analyzes the restrictions arising from the recognition of information as counter-sanctioned, the circumstances associated with the onset of legal liability.
In the course of the research, scientific methods were used: analysis, generalization, comparison, modeling. The use of the formal legal method and systematic interpretation allowed us to form an idea of the counter-sanction information. The problem under consideration has not been practically investigated in Russian science.
It is assumed that the legislator formulates a new special legal regime of information in the context of the development of counter-sanctions regulation, ensuring the protection of private and public interests. At the same time, the risks that have arisen in the activities of entities that freely disseminate information, including mass information, are analyzed.
As a result of the conducted research, the conclusion is formulated that under the conditions of sanctions, freedom of information is reduced, and the volume of information previously open and accessible to an unlimited number of people may gradually decrease due to the development of counter-sanctions regulation.

Abstract: In the presented work, the author explores the development of the information society in the Russian Federation. Among the main factors influencing the transformation of public administration, the use of digital information and the use of information technologies by public authorities and local self-government are highlighted. The subject of the study is the legal regulation of relations arising in connection with the use of information in digital form and technologies related to its processing for management purposes. The task set by the author is due to the identification of trends in the development of information activities of public authorities. It is noted that in the current conditions, communication between citizens and the state is changing due to the emergence of new management mechanisms. The main hypothesis of the study is that the process of changing the electronic form of phenomena and categories to their more modern analogue in the perception of management subjects, which has a digital embodiment, is fixed. Digitalization did not become an unexpected phenomenon, it was preceded by the process of automation and informatization in public administration.
The novelty of the research lies in the theoretical substantiation of the need to establish a continuous information exchange between the state and citizens by providing the population with permanent access to information and opportunities for its independent use, including automated processing.
The practical value of the work is due to the consideration of the process of changing the provision of state and municipal services from the perspective of management activities and the new concepts of "superservice" and "monoservice".
Conclusions are drawn about the stability of the existing regulatory framework for the development of public administration in the context of the digital transformation of society and the need for timely, point-by-point regulation of information legal relations of a public nature.
