Impact of the Pandemic on the Development and Regulation of Electronic Commerce in Russia

The article deals with topical issues of legal support for the development of electronic commerce in the Russian Federation. The analysis of the main categories of e-commerce has been carried out, the content of which is standardized in domestic regulatory legal acts, the following is among them: elements of the purchase and sale process, the concept of types of trading activities, electronic signature, digital assets, digital currency, smart contracts, digital transactions, etc.). The categories have been defined, the concept of which is absent in the normative legal acts of Russia: the concept of digital goods, e-commerce infrastructure, e-commerce services, delivery channels in online stores, the concept of a courier/courier service, the concept of smart applications, the definition of varieties of online stores, etc. The problem of research is defined: insufficiently effective legal support of economic activity in electronic commerce. An imperfect system of planning strategies for the development of trade organizations in the online environment has been revealed. The conclusions have been formed that the process of digitalization and the consequences of the pandemic have a significant impact on the dynamics of legal support for the development of electronic commerce, but its level is currently not high enough and requires improvement (by making additions to several regulatory legal acts, such as the Law on Trade, the Strategy for the Development of Electronic Commerce in Russia, etc.). The study used system, situational, complex methods, graphical, block grouping, methods of comparative analysis of normative legal acts, and synthesis of conclusions and proposals.
