Introduction. Today, the modernization of the public administration system in Russia is unthinkable without the widespread introduction of digital solutions. In the context of global transformations, ensuring transparency and accountability of government is becoming a key factor in combating corruption and making effective management decisions. Within the framework of this study, we consider the potential of using artificial intelligence technologies and other digital tools to increase the degree of openness and efficiency of government institutions, which in turn can positively affect the level of public trust in them. The purpose of this article is to examine the impact of digital technologies, particularly artificial intelligence (AI), on governance transparency and effectiveness in Russia. The paper discusses key aspects of the application of artificial intelligence (AI) and other digital tools, as well as their potential to improve the quality of management decisions and their evaluation. Methods. Research methods include document analysis, such as Decree of the President of the Russian Federation No. 490 of October 10, 2019, “On the Development of Artificial Intelligence in the Russian Federation” and Decree of the President of the Russian Federation No. 1014 of November 28, 2024, “On Assessing the Performance of Senior Officials of the Constituent Entities of the Russian Federation and the Performance of Executive Bodies of the Constituent Entities of the Russian Federation." Furthermore, an analytical method is employed to assess the impact of digitalization on public opinion and the transparency of government institutions, as well as a comparative analysis of existing digitalization practices in various countries. A literature review and data provided by government statistics also serve as the basis for the analysis. Results. The study's results demonstrate that the implementation of artificial intelligence (AI), as well as other digital technologies, such as open data platforms or monitoring and feedback systems, in management processes significantly improves the quality of decisions, and the very use of these technologies becomes a key criterion for assessing the performance of government agencies. Moreover, the use of digital technologies helps influence public opinion about government, as they increase citizen trust in public institutions, which is associated, among other things, with a reduction in corruption. Attention is also paid to how digital technologies can be implemented as a methodological basis for assessing the effectiveness of government agencies. Conclusions. The study's findings highlight the need to integrate digital tools into the public administration system as an important and necessary step to increasing the transparency and openness of this system. The study also shows that measuring public opinion on government performance is essential for improving the effectiveness of public institutions in the context of digitalization. However, achieving sustainable results requires a comprehensive approach and further research.

Introduction. Modern conditions of socio-economic development are characterized by a high degree of uncertainty, increasing systemic risks and the effect of "cascading crises", when various threats loom and increase the destructive impact on each other. In such circumstances, traditional models of anti-crisis management, focused exclusively on one-time rehabilitation measures, are not effective enough, and therefore it is necessary to revise the methodological foundations and create integrated management solutions. Purpose. To develop a holistic model of anti-crisis management, observed institutional and socio-cultural mechanisms, ensuring the sustainable functioning of organizations in conditions of high uncertainty. Methods. The methodological basis of the study is represented by institutional and socio-cultural approaches that allow us to consider anti-crisis management as a system combining formal and informal elements. The methods of comparative analysis of domestic and foreign studies, structural and functional approach, elements of sociological crisis situation are used. The theoretical base is supplemented by the analysis of organizational stability and the concept of driving forces. Results. A comprehensive model of anti-crisis management has been developed, focused on the strategic core of the organization (mission, values, long-term goals). The institutional block of models includes a system of early understanding, scenario planning, regulatory framework, anti-crisis structures and financial and economic instruments. The socio-cultural block is based on the principles of value policy, trust, communicative openness, leadership and adaptive education, implemented through corporate culture, personnel involvement and development programs. Data synergy components are found at the operational level in the possibilities of flexible redistribution of resources and adaptive reconfiguration of management processes. Conclusions. The results of the study prove that stability in crisis conditions is ensured by the coordinated functioning of institutional and socio-cultural principles. The isolated application of each of these groups of tools increases the efficiency of management. The integration of formalized regulations and value-oriented practices creates conditions for strategic stability and organization, allows not only to minimize the negative consequences of the crisis, but also to form long-term competitive advantages.

Introduction. Modern Russia is in the process of permanent reform of the public administration system, increasing the efficiency and transparency of the work of the state apparatus. Today, the civil service system of the Russian Federation is a complex mechanism that regulates the activities of government authorities and their interaction with society. Purpose. In our opinion, we would like to draw attention to some key problems of further reforming the civil service and suggest ways to overcome them, in which the institutions of the state and municipal service are transformed into a single system of public service. It is necessary to improve the existing system of ranks and ranks of the public service. Methods and results. The research methods include the use of historical analysis, which made it possible to trace the evolution of the system of public power and local self-government in Russia. The appeal to historical experience made it possible to identify elements of continuity and determine the possibilities of adapting historical models to modern conditions. An analysis of current legislation, including federal laws and presidential decrees, was also conducted in order to identify gaps and contradictions in legal regulation. In turn, the use of a systematic approach implied the consideration of public authority as a single system, including state and municipal services. This made it possible to analyze the interrelationships between different levels of government and assess their impact on management effectiveness, as well as identify systemic problems and develop recommendations for their solution. The results of the analysis conducted using theoretical methods make it possible to identify key problems in the current legislation that hinder the effective functioning of the public authority system. The use of a systematic approach makes it possible to identify the relationships between levels and branches of government, as well as to determine their impact on the overall effectiveness of management. All this makes it possible to develop comprehensive recommendations for optimizing the interaction between state and municipal services, as well as to propose coordination mechanisms that will increase the effectiveness of management at all levels. Conclusions. According to the authors, reflected in the work, the formation of a system of public authority, which is already being completed at the local government level, causes the objective need to form a unified system of public service, including the state and municipal branches (services), which is a necessary condition for strengthening the vertical of power and improving coordination between its levels.

The article is devoted to the study of diagnostic issues of crisis conditions, primarily in the economy. The approaches of various authors to the definition of the economic crisis are analyzed, and an approach is highlighted in which the main source of information for diagnosing a crisis situation is not economic indicators, but the results of sociological research of the business community. The results of sociological research of the business community in 2022-2024 are analyzed, and it is concluded that despite the negative impact of sanctions, most entrepreneurs do not characterize the situation in the Russian economy as a crisis. In order to increase the effectiveness of analytical support for decision-making on the development of entrepreneurship at the state level, to prevent the development of a crisis situation in the country's economy, a number of measures for the structural and institutional development of the support system for the development of small and medium-sized enterprises are proposed.
