Gorlushkin, A.N. Correlation of the terms “confidentiality” and “state secret”

Abstract: In spite of completeness and detailed character of relations between the subjects of the institution of state secret, correlation of the terms “confidentiality” and “state secret” is still not clear enough. The reason for it is lack of legal regulation of the term “confidentiality”. In spite of its topicality and applicability, there’s still a problem. The author argues the need for recognition of state secret as a type of confidential information.
