The subject of the study is the process of combating corruption, which, due to its changing forms and methods, should be permanent and comprehensive. Moreover, all levels of society are affected by corruption. Digitalization of administrative procedures makes it possible to increase the efficiency of public administration and ensure transparency of decisions. At the same time, it is necessary to assess how the goals and the reality of their implementation coincide. Russia has adopted yet another anti-corruption plan, which is "reinforced" by the introduction of a new Poseidon system that ensures compliance with anti-corruption requirements by various officials. However, the constant bias towards digitalization of administrative procedures and control and supervisory activities cannot automatically lead to the eradication of corruption. It only creates prerequisites. In addition, policy documents in Russia do not set such goals, including even existing international legal acts. Digitalization has many advantages – it is the ease, simplicity and speed of decisions. In fact, the electronic form of control is convenient: you do not need to wait long, prepare documents, the control body can check everything at once. Also, digitalization has already shown effectiveness in reducing "everyday" corruption. However, there is no detailed statistics on the results of appealing control measures in open data. It is impossible to assess what was appealed, what decisions were made and what problems arose. At the same time, the ubiquitous electronic form will not get rid of negative phenomena – there is no single standard of interaction between an administrative body and a non-governmental entity. Regulatory legal acts do not take into account one important aspect: not all individuals have access to the Internet.
