Stages of development of digitalization of legal regulation in Russia

Legal regulation has traditionally been considered as a subjective category, i.e. as an activity conducted by a subject with authority. Formally and legally, it could be not only an individual, but also an organization. On the contrary, from a sociological point of view, it has been considered indisputable until now (and, as a result, has not been thoroughly discussed in legal science) that legal regulation is carried out by the subject directly, personally, and cases of the transfer of regulatory powers have always been reduced to their transfer from person to person. In other words, until now, legal regulation has never been reduced to an impersonal "automated production" of neither general norms nor individual prescriptions, i.e. it has never been reduced to the transfer of regulatory powers by a man-machine. The situation is different now. The paper highlights the main stages of the ongoing digitalization of the legal regulation mechanism in Russia.
