Based on the above-mentioned trends of digital transformation of politics, as well as expert interviews conducted in 15 regions of the Russian Federation, this study highlights and meaningfully analyzes the currently dominant dangers and negative trends of the regional political process, as well as identifies the main directions of countering the latter. The content of the work considers these hazards and risks in three interrelated aspects: 1) caused by the digitalization of traditional political institutions and relations; 2) emerging in the process of the development of new digital institutions and the weak predictability of their development trajectories; 3) contradictions and conflicts that develop in the interaction of traditional political actors and digital institutions. At the end of the work, the authors conclude that it is necessary to improve regional legislation regarding the use of digital technologies in election campaigns, as well as the prohibition of the use of any autonomous algorithmic programs, bots for political campaigning and targeted political advertising. The article substantiates the development of forms of sovereignty of the national Internet space and mechanisms for countering destructive content, fake news and distorted information materials, as well as strengthening the responsibility of social networks and Internet platforms for posting these contents, news and information on their resources. The authors also argue for the need to develop social and regulatory regulators, ethical principles, moral standards, etc., that normalize the use of digital technologies in regional politics, as well as stimulate the development of institutions of civil control in the field of digital interaction.
