This article is one of the first experiences of understanding the problems associated with the construction of a digital state in the Russian Federation. The first attempt to introduce digital technologies in the activities of public authorities was made in the early 2000s, but it can not be called successful, since neither the management system itself, nor civil servants were not ready for this in terms of understanding ‘digitalization'. The relevance of the study lies in the fact that it is the first time developed the theoretical foundations of the digital state constructing, governance and society, taking into account international experience. In this article, the authors for the first time provide a fairly extensive review of international experience in the use of digital technologies, which can be successfully applied, including from the point of view of combating corruption in the public authorities. The issue of introducing digital technologies to counter corruption in the Russian Federation is more acute than ever, because over the past few years. In addition, the article discusses the concept of ‘State as a Platform', created by a team of authors of the Center for strategic development to transform the public administration system in the Russian Federation. This concept was discussed at the panel discussion ‘State as a Platform: people and technology' of the annual Gaidar forum.
