The article examines sociological theories of public governance and the features of their reflection in the regulatory and legal model of the digital state in Russia. It is shown that the digitalization of the public sphere represents a transformation of the structure, characteristics, and principles of interaction between the state and society. The study reveals that the national discourse is shaped by such key concepts as scientific management, new public management, public value management, network governance, collaborative governance, participatory governance, e-government, e-democracy, smart governance, and GovTech. It is established that the Russian regulatory and legal model of the digital state primarily consolidates service-oriented, platform-based, and organizational-technological aspects, while network and participatory elements are reflected to a lesser extent. The study concludes that the practical development of the digital state in Russia is characterized by the dominance of the model of the citizen as a recipient of digital services, with insufficient institutionalization of the citizen as a full-fledged subject of public governance.
