Introduction
Information in the modern world is a strategic resource of power (Shalagina, 2017). The modern war of states for economic and political influence is moving to the level of application of latent and harsh methods of influence on other countries. The most optimized form aimed at increasing control over a foreign state is the introduction of "attorneys" in the structures of regulation of communications of the country of interest. The productive use of information is a primary factor in the sustainable functioning of the political regime. The state, as the main institution of power relations, dynamically takes part in public information relations and guarantees their legal protection. An important condition for the balanced development of existing States is their full control over functioning information fields and legal regulation of existing communication relations.

Problem Statement
The main problem of this work is the study of justified directions for ensuring the primitive situation of state information policy in the era of the formation of a total information society.

Research Questions
Sociologists, legal scholars and political scientists considered some areas of the problem under study. Wiener (1968), Pugachev (1997) and other researchers made a significant contribution to the study of information as a social phenomenon. Among foreign authors, the works of Bell (1999), Castels (2004), Robins and Webster (1999), Reddick and King (1996), Tofler (1992) and others deserve special attention.
A comparative analysis of the leading studies of Russian and foreign authors indicates that not all directions of the topic presented by us received a full presentation in scientific papers.
The presented work operates on a fairly wide range of sources, which should be divided into two main areas: 1) regulatory and legal sources regulating information support of processes in politics, organizing the activities of the communicative system of society; 2) theoretical works that consider the various directions of the declared topic.
Based on the above, in this work, research issues were identified in the following order. First is historical predestination of modern Russian legal relations in the field of information policy. Second is information technology as an integral part of the life of the modern public system.

Purpose of the Study
The purpose of the work is to analyse the legal security of the state's information policy in the era of transition to a "full" information society. https://doi.org/10.15405/epsbs.2021.11.354 Corresponding Author: Svetlana Vitalievna Shalagina Selection and peer-review under

Research Methods
The analysis of political and legal material proposed in this work is based on the principles of the problem, chronological method, historical modeling method and classification; the relationship between general and the special in the legal provision of communicative relations in society.

Findings
Modern legal Russian reality in the context of information practice has a historical predestination.
In 1995, the Federal Law "On Information, Informatization and Protection of Information" was adopted. The Federal Law "On Information, Information Technologies and Information Protection" regulates the relations arising under: 1) exercising the right to search, receive, transmit, produce and disseminate information; 2) applying information technologies; 3) ensuring information protection.
Information, as the object of legal relations, is considered by law as the object of civil, public and other legal relations. Depending on the category of access to it, it is divided into public information, as well as information, access to which is limited by federal laws. Information, depending on the procedure for its provision or distribution (use), is divided into: 1) information freely distributed; 2) information provided by consent of persons participating in the relevant relationship; 3) information which, in accordance with federal laws, is subject to submission or dissemination; 4) information, the dissemination of which in the Russian Federation is legally limited or prohibited. The legislation of the Russian Federation may establish the types of information depending on its content or the owner (About information…, 2020).
Russian legislation presumably defines a restrictive framework for access to information in order to protect the foundations of the constitutional system of the country, morals, health, rights and legitimate interests of other persons, ensuring the defense and security of the state. https://doi.org/10.15405/epsbs.2021.11.354 Corresponding Author: Svetlana Vitalievna Shalagina Selection and peer-review under 2677 It is important to emphasize that communicative capabilities have a primary characteristic in the current process of ensuring the state national policy. Information in modern interpretation is the central tool of the political system. Thoughtful, targeted use of the existing information field is a prerequisite for the productive existence of political power. The state, being the main institution of power relations, actively uses information relationships. Information policy unites and divides countries, unites and separates the state and civil society. Today, the leading level in the improvement of information technologies is presented as a qualitative provision of the leading position of modern world powers. The desire for superiority gives rise to rivalry. The essence of information active and tough confrontation is the acquisition of noticeable dominance in the information environment, which allows you to regulate the behavior of the opponent.
It should be noted that the state territories that lost in information competition noticeably reduced the potential world confrontation. The desire to transform the existing rules in alignment of forces on the international scene will demand enormous financial and other expenditures, which efficiency will restrain in the most ruthless and trivial ways from opponents. The doctrine also clearly identifies the main goals and strategic tasks that guarantee the information security of Russia from internal and external threats of an informational nature that are contrary to international law. In the sphere of State and public security, the protection of State https: //doi.org/10.15405/epsbs.2021.11.354 Corresponding Author: Svetlana Vitalievna Shalagina Selection and peer-review under responsibility of the Organizing Committee of the conference eISSN:  2678 sovereignty, political and social stability is guaranteed. The document determines the level of ensuring the fundamental rights and freedoms of a person and citizen and regulates the degree of protection of the state's information infrastructure. In the economic field, the degree of reduction to the minimum possible level of the impact of external negative factors that are possible in the event of an insufficient level of development of the Russian information technology and electronic industry, the development and production of competitive means of ensuring information security is streamlined. In the field of science, technology and education, this allows promoting the innovative development of the information security system of industries. In the sphere of strategic stability and equal strategic partnership, there is the formation of a stable, stable system of non-conflict interstate relations in the information space. In other words, the legal document establishes strategic regulation in the field of national security of the Russian Federation. The doctrine was the core for the formation of state activities in the field of ensuring information security, as well as the development of measures to modernize the country's information security system.

Conclusion
Modern information technologies are an organic part of the operating public systems. Their highquality application serves as an indispensable condition of effective social development of the state.
Rivalry of world powers for various spheres of influence in the international processes passed into a phase of using latent methods of influence on each other. Various information technologies on the complexity and design, which are nowadays developed and introduced in practice, allow one not only to create the necessary point of view by means of creation of a political resonance, but also to resort to open political propaganda, the hidden information suggestion. The modernized communication methods of influence are capable to form independently the information agenda today, to manipulate substantially a situation, to be engaged in political advertising, to fragment political events, to manipulate effect of "importance" of political news, "to dramatize" public events, to create "negative images", to produce political myths. An ideal way of achievement of control over a certain state field is the method of input of "forwarding agents" in the system regulating management of information flows.
To achieve the political, economic, social and cultural results demanded by time, it is necessary to follow the major trends which are a basis of expedient use of information and communication methods.
The first is creation of the information directions creating conditions for fast, safe and favorable access to the operating network technologies. The second is dynamic, comprehensive use of information and communication resources at the state level to increase "availability and transparency" of the authorities.
The third is creation of the mechanisms providing the efficiency of the legal framework in the sphere of information policy. The fourth is systematic improvement of the legislation in the field of information and communicative policy, in the context of the changing circumstances, including creation of the uniform concept of legal support of information activities of the state. The fifth is to carry out the analysis of a ratio of the international standards in the sphere of informatization and the domestic legislation.
One should emphasize that the inevitable processes of changing the world order pose Russia with multifaceted, complex tasks, where domestic and interstate communication relations are no exception.
Positive trends in improving the information activities of our country require the unification of its legal https: //doi.org/10.15405/epsbs.2021.11.354 Corresponding Author: Svetlana Vitalievna Shalagina Selection and peer-review under responsibility of the Organizing Committee of the conference eISSN:  2679 support. In this regard, the adoption of a number of urgent measures aimed at improving the program of consistent development of not only the internal information field, but also of the planetary communicative space in order to acquire a political advantage that contributes to the fruitful development of the country is an integral action.
It is important to take into account the fact that information technologies, emerging both in the external information environment and operating within the territorial limits of the state, determine the quality of existing social processes in the country. Their goal is to create a desirable, optimal political and social atmosphere in society. The task is "to influence the mass consciousness of the population, orienting and adapting it to a certain perception of the current processes and introduced into the public system, political, economic and social processes" (Shalagina, 2017, p. 423).
