Features of the Legal Status of a Smart Contract in the Context of Digitalization

In this article, the authors consider the features of smart contracts as a fundamentally new model of contractual relations, relevant in view of the comprehensive digitalization of various spheres of life. Smart contracts are considered as the so-called self-executing contracts, in which the terms of the agreement between the buyer and the seller are directly spelled out in lines of code. At the same time, the code and the agreement associated with it exist in a distributed decentralized blockchain network. Smart contracts guarantee a very specific set of results, which makes it possible not to resort to litigation, in fact, avoiding conflict situations. The authors analyze various types of smart contracts, problems associated with changing the terms of a smart contract, and limitations connected with the use of such a model of contractual relations. The article draws attention to the fact that the automated execution of the terms of the contract will cause problems, because the lines of code, unlike a traditional written contract, cannot be changed with the same ease. In conclusion, the authors discuss the impact of digitalization processes on the development of smart contracts.

Assessment of the Impact of Smart City Initiatives on the Development of Urbanized Territories

Digitalization processes are penetrating deeper into various areas of urbanized territories, being a factor affecting the quality of life of the local population. One of the promising approaches for the development of urban areas in the context of digitalization is the concept of the smart city. Despite the significant popularity of the smart city concept among the scientific community, as well as municipal authorities, the impact of digitalization processes on the development of the urban environment, as well as the possibility of using digital technologies to solve emerging problems in the economic, social, and environmental spheres, has been studied very little. The aim of the study is to determine the dependencies between the implementation of smart city model initiatives and the development of individual subsystems of the urban environment. The paper shows that a significant part of modern research is of theoretical, descriptive nature, while there is a shortage of empirical research, the main purpose of which would be to identify quantitative patterns in the development of smart cities, which would contribute to the development of economic and mathematical approaches to the study of urbanized territories in the conditions of formation digital society. The research method used by the authors is correlation analysis. Using the cases of 118 cities from the Smart City Index 2021, prepared by the Singapore Institute of Technology and Design, the relationship between the implementation of ideas for the digitalization of the urban environment and improving the quality of individual components of the urban environment is shown. As a result of the study, strong correlations were identified between the introduction of digital technologies in the main areas of the urban economy and the development of the urban environment, the hypothesis about the impact of digitalization processes on the development of certain areas of management within urban areas was confirmed, relationships between the development of smart solutions within the urban environment and changes in quality were shown. life of the local population. The results obtained can become the basis for further research in the development of smart cities, as well as applied tools for the implementation of plans and strategies for the development of urban areas.

Development of tax control in the context of digitalization of the economy

Tax control is the main fiscal and regulatory tool of the modern economy, and digital technologies, in turn, are the main tool of tax control. The article considers the impact of digitalization processes occurring in the modern economy on tax control procedures. Modernization of tax processes is explained by the active use of the latest digital technologies in tax administration in the form of various tools in order to minimize tax risks from tax evasion of legal entities and individuals. As an example, a comparative analysis of the indicators of the control work of the Departments of the Federal Tax Service of Russia for the Republic of Adygea and the Krasnodar Territory for 2017-2019 has been carried out and conclusions drawn as to how the effectiveness of tax audits has changed in connection with the expansion of the informatization of the tax service. It has also been concluded that improving the efficiency of in-office inspections based on the introduction of new modern technologies can be called a promising direction of the control activity of the tax service, especially since in-office inspections are carried out permanently with almost complete quantitative coverage of all business entities. To make informed management decisions at different levels of management, a comprehensive comparative assessment of the effectiveness of the control work of tax authorities is necessary. In general, it has been noted that the development of digitalization has a positive impact on the effectiveness of tax control and allows moving away from conducting direct tax audits to creating incentives for taxpayers to voluntarily pay taxes and clarify their tax obligations. In addition, digitalization eliminates such a competitive advantage in the market as the tax component, and leads to more favorable conditions for the implementation of business activities and the growth of the state economy.

The article reflects the main problems of treasury control in the Russian Federation and identifies key areas for improving the process of allocation of budget funds using digital technologies.

CHINA'S ROAD TO DIGITAL LEADERSHIP

The article discusses the characteristics of China's advance to the position of the world digital leadership. The objectives of the study are the identifying of the most dynamically developing areas of digital transformation based on the integration of modern technologies, big data, artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, 3D printing, cloud technologies into supply chains for implementation in production processes. The impact of digitalization processes on the formation of a new society based on both traditional cultural values and high susceptibility to Western innovations is analyzed. There is a reversal of China's global strategy from a development model based on external factors to a wider use of internal regional reserves, which, in particular, is facilitated by the confrontation with the United States and the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic. It is concluded that achieving digital leadership in the competition with the United States for China is hardly possible in the foreseeable future. There are still insurmountable barriers on the way: the lack of economic freedoms, including in the field of using the Internet, environmental challenges that require structural restructuring of the economy, the presence of regional and social imbalances, a decline in economic growth, uncertainty in relations with the United States.

Formation and development of digital competencies in the conditions of digitalization of economy and society

Automation of business processes is one of the most promising areas for the development of banking and mortgage lending.

Telegram’s Impact on the Development of Media Landscapes in Russia and Belarus: Comparative Analysis

The topic of this research is related to the growing role of the Telegram messenger in the mass communications system of Russia and Belarus. The main direction of scientific research was the prob-lem of adapting the mass media of Russia and Belarus to the distribution of the messenger. The sci-entific significance of the study is due to the need to develop a systematic approach to the study of media and the impact of digitalization processes on the development of the media space. The practical significance of the work is explained by objective conclusions that can serve as a basis for the develop-ment of existing media companies, as well as for the emergence of new media projects. The research methodology is based on a comparative analysis of statistical data on the audience of the leading telegram channels in Russia and Belarus. The main data source was the Telegram Analytics project (tgstat.com). Comparative analysis serves as the main approach for drawing conclusions. The main results of the study show that the influence of Telegram grew especially strongly in Belarus in 2020. In Russia, where the messenger was blocked for more than two years, the influence of Telegram is not so significant. The study revealed that the popularity of Telegram as a source of news information in the media spaces of Russia and Belarus is growing, while the demand for social networks (for example, VKontakte) is falling. Many “classic” media are looking for a successful news distribution strategy on this platform. At the same time, some media outlets still use Telegram as a feed of links to the main site, which cannot be considered an effective behavior strategy. The Telegram platform helps to strengthen the feedback from the audience. Many media outlets are beginning to use interactive forms of content in their channels (tests, voting, etc.), include the ability to comment. Chat-bots have become a new opportunity to receive information from readers. Key words: media space, Russia, Belarus, Telegram, digital technologies, media audience.
