DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION OF THE RUSSIAN ECONOMY: RISKS, PERSPECTIVES AND SCENARIOS OF THE INNOVATIVE DEVELOPMENT OF THE INDUSTRY

The goal of the paper is to present the results of the authors' research focused on the innovative and technological development of the Russian economy and define risks, perspectives and scenarios of the innovative development of the Russian industry. Achieving the goal of the paper is based on the analysis of the development of advanced technologies in Russia under the conditions of the advancing technological revolution. The results show a low share of high-tech production in the country's gross domestic product and a growing gap between Russia and leading countries in the field of digitization. The results allowed authors to define a number of problems that significantly limit the modernization of the Russian economy and that will be addressed by the traditional sectors of the Russian economy in the next decade. The main measure of success should be the rational choice of the optimal trajectory of the industrial and technological development of the country between "evolutionary" and "revolutionary" scenarios. The results indicate that the most appropriate scenario for the accelerated technological development in Russia is a combination of activities focused on the modernization of traditional industries and the development of new high-tech industries.
