Risky Russia in the world industrial revolution

Abstract

The article identifies and explores Russia’s risk zones during the Fourth Industrial Revolution and analyzes the negative aspects of the reformation. These zones include: the conservatism of many management systems and inertia in the use of digital tools, the still lingering technical and technological backwardness in the information sphere, the dangerous localization in the creation of IT products, large amounts of information for processing and the emerging tendency for superficial thinking, changes in information sources and the lack of moral norms in the information space, which leads to all-permissiveness and weakening of the national culture, insufficient corporate attention to the issues of information security, the danger of social stratification of society and the loss of valuable human qualities. Risk prevention methods are proposed, and key structures to play a major role are identified.
