Abstract: The subject of this article is certain anti-corruption trends that utilize digital technologies and can be taken into account in setting the priorities of anti-corruption legal policy of the Russian state. The author examines new opportunities for corruption prevention in the conditions of systematic implementation of information and communication technologies in the area of public administration. The goal of this work is to outline new opportunities for corruption prevention using digital technologies in public administration and various spheres of social life. The scientific novelty lies in the generalization and comprehensive analysis of digital technologies in the area of corruption prevention. The conclusion is made that the new digital technologies create unprecedented opportunities for modification of the model of anti-corruption policy, shifting the focus from administrative, criminal and other mechanisms of bringing to responsibility the participants of corruption relations to the benefit of development of the mechanisms for technical incapability, economic insolvency and inexpediency of corruption actions, ties and relationships. The information and communication technologies on their own are the tool of legal policy; not self-standing and without reference to the general principles of corruption prevention, they are able to generative destructive occurrences of technocratic bureaucracy, totalitarian political control, and systemic violations of human rights and freedoms.
