Social policy is a priority of the Russian state, as evidenced by the amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation in 2020. The article notes that despite the negative events of recent years, the country's leadership is taking legislative measures aimed at improving the welfare of Russian citizens.

The article is devoted to the problems of introducing digitalization into some aspects of criminal proceedings. Based on the analysis of legislation, scientific literature and judicial practice, the main problems have been identified: duplication of paper and electronic document management, uncertainty of the evidentiary status of digital traces, technical vulnerability of data and the danger of disproportionate intrusion into private communication. The necessity of subordinating technological innovations to constitutional guarantees and procedural form is substantiated. Point-by-point changes to the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation are proposed, in particular, the introduction of a full-fledged electronic protocol of investigative action, which will eliminate the systemic contradiction between digital tools and a paper-centric model of the process.
