Abstract

The modern legal policy of Russia regarding the use of electronic means of personal identification is rather authoritarian. Its natural result is that the Russian society does not fully share the initiative of the public authorities to digitize personal data due to various concerns. First, such concerns include insufficient security of data warehouses, as well as imperative government intervention in privacy and the use of personal data without the consent of their owners. Citizens who disagree with the authoritarian legal policy are making attempts to abandon accounting in personal identification systems. To find out whether such a refusal is possible in practice is the purpose of this paper.
