Abstract
The rapid development of information and communication technologies creates new opportunities not only for science, technology and society, but also for political power and governance. Global capitalism is being replaced by platform imperialism. Political power and the state apparatus now have ample opportunities to improve their performance, from the use of algorithmic management based on big data and digital control of the population to increasing trust in the decisions they make by creating the possibility of direct communication between citizens and public authorities through digital platforms. This paper will examine the specifics of legitimizing power through communication platforms, both at the level of a single state and in the international arena. The theoretical framework of this paper is the systematic analysis of D. Easton. Easton. F. Sсharpf and W. Schmidt. Also, to understand the peculiarities of platform interaction M. Foucault's concept of governmentality is involved. The work examines not only the peculiarities of the legitimization of power at the national and global level in the era of digitalization, but also analyzes the types of legitimacy of political decisions made through regional and global platforms.

Политическая власть и государственный аппарат теперь обладают широкими возможностями для повышения эффективности своей работы, начиная от использования алгоритмического управления на основе больших данных и цифрового контроля за населением до повышения доверия к принимаемым ими решениям за счет создания возможности непосредственной коммуникации граждан с органами государственной власти посредством цифровых платформ
Легитимация власти на уровне национального государства достигается за счет привлечения к решению проблем широких слоев населения, однако тематика данных проблем в России носит деполитизированный характер
