In Russian public discourse, digitalisation is recognised as a new global trend, which creates an environment with extensive communication possibilities and leads to the civic participation traditional practices reformatting to online. In this regard, it is relevant to study the opportunities, risks and necessary conditions for these transformations. The aim of the article is to identify the civic participation digitalisation limitations of the population, lying in the digital differences field. Settlement, age, gender, educational and income factors of Internet accessibility, its use purposes and digital skills availability for Russian regions, including the Vologda Region as a typical region are considered. To solve the research problems, sociological methods, secondary data analysis, the system-structural and cross-tabulation analysis method were used. The results of the study conducted have made it possible to identify characteristics according to which certain population groups have a high, medium or low potential for civil society digital inclusion in terms of technical accessibility, knowledge and the Internet experience and digital services. The online citizenship format is most likely to be attractive to young and middle-aged people, working and living in cities, with secondary vocational or higher education. At the research time, no significant gender impact and self-reported income on the digital divides was identified. However, current trends consideration in digitalisation and prolonging the older people active lives makes it possible to argue that potential participants groups in civic participation in an online format will expand in the future. The study results can be considered when planning the civil society development, taking into account current trends, developing tools to motivate different socio-demographic population groups to civic engagement online.

Today we are witnessing the active introduction of information technologies in all spheres of life, which has led to an increase and reproduction of the digitalisation risks. This requires the state to form a society with high digital literacy. The authors studied digital literacy of students of grades 1-8 of secondary schools in Yakutsk and their parents within assessing digital literacy level of the population in Russian regions, assessed their knowledge of security bases in network space. The main method of collecting information was an online questionnaire. In the course of the study the competence levels in the field of searching for information on the Internet through search engines, computer skills, the digital consumption indicators of children and parents, the social networks use, the goods and services consumption, the multimedia content production, etc., were defined. The authors noted a low digital security level and an average digital competence level in indicated population category having a quite high digital consumption level. The study showed that there are large gaps in the knowledge of both children, adolescents, and parents. Thus, the digital competences development relevance among population was demonstrated.

Rapid development and implementation of modern information and communication technologies has led to a new phase of economic, scientific and technological progress. However, there is no mechanism to ensure social systems effective management based on the information technologies use due to socio-economic inequality among the population of the Russian Federation, preventing all segments of the population from benefiting scientific and technological progress results, which has been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of the study is to identify the modern information technologies role in improving the living standard and the population life quality, in particular, in overcoming the working population poverty. The article analyses foreign and domestic research on this issue over the past five years. The pandemic impact on social structures, in particular the labour market and employment, has been considered. The growing importance and social networks role in public life and their use serious potential to solve the problems under study have been noted. The authors carried out a sociological survey in the Republic of Bashkortostan, on the basis of which made conclusions: modern society is characterised by the information inequality problem, which is closely linked to the economic inequality problem, which will be exacerbated by the modern information and communication technologies development; the computer illiteracy problem and the close relationship between income level and knowledge, skills in information and communication technologies, English language skills were identified among residents. The research results highlight the need to implement modern information technologies skills into poverty alleviation programmes.

The article is devoted to the social management challenges in the digital age. Much attention is paid to the consequences of the high technologies introduction in society, including the “management lag” phenomenon and the issue, whether a society with “smart” technologists absorbed by the ubiquitous digitalisation processes, has time to manage social processes effectively. The relevance of the issue is also determined by the events related with the shift to remote working for many enterprises in the COVID-19 pandemic, during which the world encountered the organising work challenge using information and communication technologies. The functioning of E-Government platforms as one of the innovations examples in social governance in the world is considered in the article through the prism of government programmes of a number of developed countries and relevant statistical data. The Russian and foreign statistical agencies materials, major organisations electronic databases, keeping high-tech development records: Pricewaterhouse Coopers, Boston Consulting Group, United Nations, World Bank, Russian Government, etc., were used for the analysis. It has been concluded that contemporary high-tech society is forced to look for new, efficient governance methods. The management system must be updated to simultaneously meet the social reality demands and keep up with digital changes. Management decision-making processes in an electronic digital society are in the transformation process, and the high technology implementation isues in society are being debated in the scientific community. The digitalisation speed and scale are faster than cultural and managerial development, which is a threat to social progress.

The article presents a rethinking of the results of research in the field of smart city management based on publications in Spain and the Netherlands. Three areas of research have been identified. The first one offers scientific studies of smart city management and recommendations for improving the effectiveness of smart management based on a clear understanding of the degree of legitimacy of decision-making. The author considers these processes in comparison with the Russian scientists approaches, and focuses on the important conclusion of foreign scientists that technology alone will not make the city smarter: the construction of a smart city requires a political understanding of technology, a process approach to management, an emerging smart city, and a focus on both economic benefits and other public values. The second group of articles, considered by the author, presents a more comprehensive view of the concepts of smart cities, with smart governance, combining, presumably, innovative structures and new technologies, new communication channels aimed at the constant functioning of the city management system and the environment for cooperation and citizen engagement. The third group of publications deals with critical aspects of the development of smart governance in practice and the resulting consequences, in particular, the reassessment of the ability of the private sector to develop and implement intelligent technologies, the predominance of a technocratic approach to decision-making, the inability to ensure impartiality and objectivity, the lack of the ability to analyse urban data, cloud computing on digital platforms to stimulate production in a collaborative environment. Their conclusion about the need for “smart management” to pay attention to the processes of socio-spatial development is quite correlated with the conclusions of Russian scientists.

The article analyses the “Third mission of universities”, which is understood as a set of socially significant functions aimed at the individual and society development in a local (regional) focus. The relevance of the study is caused by the digital divide – a social phenomenon that manifests itself in the uneven development and digital technologies use by the population, depending on territorial and socio-demographic characteristics. Digital divide in the context of Russian reality is viewed as one of the types of educational risk, especially in relation to socially vulnerable population segments. It has been noted that universities can become “conductors” of digital transformations, they can contribute to the inclusion of people from “risk groups” into the digital society. The results of the study using the method of qualitative and quantitative documents analysis – Internet sites of Russian universities, their legal and regulatory documentation addressing the “third mission” have allowed us to conclude that Russian universities are focused on online education, massive open educational courses and training in digital professions. This circumstance is confirmed by the ratings analysis “Three University Missions” (MosIUR) in 2020–2021. Educational programs aimed at mastering digital professions for socially vulnerable population groups are becoming widespread – they cover people of retirement and pre-retirement age, the unemployed, mothers with “small” children. Such programs provide for a budgetary financing system and co-financing. However, the regional factor that affects the digitalisation level of the population, as well as its material well-being, is not taken into account. Hence, it has been concluded that it is necessary to expand the citizens list eligible for preferential training in digital professions. They should include poor people, small settlements residents in the periphery, crisis regions.

The academic paper investigates the influence of students’ intelligence types and personality traits on academic performance in order to increase the remote (distance) or online learning effectiveness. The research was conducted in 2019–2021 on the basis of three groups of bachelor students who studied in different training forms, namely: full-time (classroom) form in 2019 and 2021 and remote (distance) form in 2020. The students were tested annually in accordance with J. Bruner’s methodology adapted by G.V. Rezapkina in order to determine the leading intelligence types; as well as according to the Russian-language version of the Big Five Inventory questionnaire adapted by S.A. Shchebetenko for the purpose of analysing students’ personal traits. The data obtained in the full-time (classroom) and remote (distance) form of training were processed statistically and compared with each other for interpretation and the practical recommendations formation. The research result was an empirical model of the intelligence types and personality traits influencing academic performance in different training forms. Therefore, as a positive factor in the transfer to distance training mode, the authors highlighted the expressiveness of students’ creative thinking. Conversely, the prevalence of the verbal-logical intelligence type is rather a factor in favour of the classic classroom interaction format. Regardless of the chosen training form, the general relevance of the activation and adaptation of students of humanitarian specialties with a pronounced visual-figurative and subject- effective thinking is emphasised. Previously obtained data on the general positive influence of such personal qualities as: benevolence, conscientiousness and openness to new experience on the training effectiveness are also confirmed. Neuroticism, on the other hand, is an insignificant personal factor that has a negative impact in the framework of the classroom format, and the positive influence in distance training mode. By the way, a hypothesis has been put forward about the lower efficiency of online (as opposed to full-time) team activities, including design works in groups with pronounced extraversion.

For modern universities, social media is a competitive environment and a platform to increase their brand awareness in global and national rankings and promote educational, scientific and innovative services to a social media audience using marketing tools. The positioning of a modern university in social media is an activity focused on presenting the university and its services in the most advantageous way, popularising science. The aim of the study is to examine global trends in the positioning and digital transformation of university media activity in social media based on open statistical data. The authors analysed university presence indices in eight social networks (VK, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Telegram, Twitter, OK, Tik-Tok) of universities from the top 10 media activity rankings (2021), taking into account the specifics of each social network. The universities with the maximum media presence in each social network are highlighted. It is noted that a prominent presence on social media is based on working on the university’s positive media image and implementing global media positioning trends into strategic development. Two different strategies for positioning in the media space have been detected, and social networks with great potential for positioning higher education institutions in terms of age and the market segment capacity they cover are noted. The study can be useful to sociologists, economists, marketing experts and university professors.

The research paper presents a review of the monograph devoted to the methodological and theoretical aspects of the digital societysociology. L.A. Vasilenko and N.N. Meshcheryakova introduce the digital society conceptas a new independent stage in the existence of a post-industrial society and a transitional stage to a postdigital one. The concept is constituted through the description of the digital society essential features, which qualitatively distinguish it on the general line of civilizational development. The authors submit that classical sociology, with its spectrum of theories, methods and techniques, is not enough to understand the hybrid reality, partially virtualized. The monograph lays the theoretical and methodological foundations of sociology of digital society. Its content is aimed at summing up the study resultsof the digital society as a special stage of the information society and the formation of the author’s vision of the way to solve problems. Reviews of the most significant studies have been generated in the text. A multidisciplinary approach to the review and to the presentation of one’s own positions and developments has been presented. The authors go far beyond the subject of sociological science itself, and form a three-dimensional picture of digital society as a whole. Digital society is considered from the perspective of a civilizational approach. The authors consistently concentrate their attention on the issue of the evolution of the information society formation, then move on to the main aspect of the author’s concept. They are deploying arguments in favor of proving that the digital society is the next stage in the information society development. An original scenario approach to the empirical data interpretation on the digitalisation process has been implemented. When organising the study and formulating conclusions, positive and negative consequences and scenarios of evolution are highlighted. The book is of considerable interest to sociologists, philosophers, specialists in the field of social management.
