The article examines the pressing issue of the formation and functioning of an e state in the current context of digitalization.

The article examines the concept of state service as a legal category in the Russian Federation. The legal definition enshrined in Federal Law No. 210-FZ is analyzed, and its formal legal advantages and disadvantages are identified. Based on the critical analysis of doctrinal approaches, the content boundaries of the concept and the correlation of state service with related categories (“public service”, “administrative service”, “state function”) are explored. The features of state service are distinguished, and multidimensional classifications (by level of authority, form of provision, degree of compulsion, etc.) are proposed. The intersectoral nature of the institute is substantiated, and the evolution of legislative regulation from formal definition to substantive content, including the introduction of proactive service provision, is traced.
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.
