Globalization and Information Security: Ways to Ensure the Sovereignty of the Russian Federation

The subject of this political science research is the provision of information sovereignty of the Russian Federation in the dynamically changing conditions of digital globalization and the transformation of the modern world order. In this context, it is emphasized that national information security today depends not only on the classical technical protection of individual vulnerable systems from cyber threats. Sovereign political-administrative control over big data, hardware network infrastructure, transnational platform channels, independent technological support, and the sphere of mass public communication becomes critically important. The main goal of the work is to comprehensively determine how institutional governance of nationally significant information processes can be maintained in the realities of intensive open cross-border digital exchange. To achieve this goal, the article analyzes the fundamental contradictions between the extraterritorial nature of the internet and the sovereign jurisdiction of the state, as well as identifies mechanisms that allow for the mitigation of external risks. The methodological basis of the research is composed of a systemic approach, a formal-legal method, and an analysis of regulatory and strategic documents of the Russian Federation in the field of information security. This has allowed for the consideration of information sovereignty as a complex regime of coordination of legal norms, infrastructural protection, technological autonomy, data regimes, and measures to counteract destructive informational influences. The article substantiates the thesis that in modern realities, information sovereignty cannot be reduced to a policy of isolationism, digital closure, strict restrictive measures, or formal technical import substitution. The main conclusion is that the long-term political stability of the Russian Federation in the information sphere is ensured through the formation of a "managed openness" regime. In such an institutional approach, the state's participation in the global digital environment is preserved, while critical infrastructural, software, and platform dependencies remain under strict national control. The results of the conducted research can be applied by governmental authorities in the comprehensive evaluation of legal, technological, and organizational-political measures to ensure information security, as well as in the adjustment of digital development strategies in the context of geopolitical instability.
