Digital technologies are known to have high potential for economic growth and to promote social and political communications. They are platforms for implementing new business ideas.

This question determines the main topic of discussion. The following methods are used in the article: system analysis, content analysis, sociological survey, comparative analysis, cluster analysis, fuzzy logic methods, and mathematical modeling. The purpose of the article is to determine the relationship and spread of new digital technologies and phenomena in the socio-economic and political spheres of Russia.
