It is known that the healthcare system is currently under serious strain in all countries of the world. Despite the expansion of the number of services and the improvement of the quality of medical care, the industry cannot cope with the existing burden: due to the increase in the number and life expectancy of the population, the spread of epidemiological morbidity and the growth of public expectations for more personalized and comfortable services the population. A significant number of current problems of the healthcare system can be solved with the help of widespread introduction of digital technologies. The global COVID-19 pandemic has led to accelerated innovation and the transition of processes from informatization to digital transformation. Digital transformation of healthcare is an absolute global trend. The development of digital technologies is aimed both at solving national problems and at implementing the national strategy of the healthcare system. The digital healthcare market is growing due to the development of electronic medical records (EHR), mobile healthcare (mhealth) capabilities, telemedicine and medical analytics. According to the Statista agency, the volume of the global digital medicine market in 2019 amounted to $ 106 billion, analysts predict its growth to $639 billion, that is, more than 6 times. Th e introduction of digital technologies into the healthcare system is a process that concerns all participants: the state, medical professionals, developers of IT solutions and new medical technologies, citizens. The article presents an analysis of foreign and domestic experience of technological transformation of healthcare, depending on the level of development of telemedicine.

The article presents a comparative analysis of the development of the executive power systems of the DPR and the LPR at the fi rst (from 2014 to 2018-19) and second (from 2018-19 to 2022) stages of statehood formation in the self-proclaimed republics. Th e legal status of the Heads of the Republics of the DPR and LPR, the legal status of the highest executive authorities in the DPR and LPR, their evolution in the process of development of the self-proclaimed republics from 2014 to 2022 is studied in detail. Th e functions of the executive authorities, which formed the basis for the formation of the corresponding systems of the executive authorities of the DPR and LPR, are investigated. The systems included ministries, state committees, which are the leading executive authorities in the self-proclaimed republics. Services, agencies and inspections in the DPR performed a less prominent role and were subordinate to ministries and state committees. In the LPR, services, agencies and inspections performed managerial functions as independent executive authorities. A comparison of the systems of executive authorities and their inherent functions in the DPR and LPR with the Russian model of building executive power allows us to conclude that they are converging at the second stage of the development of the selfproclaimed republics.

The article is devoted to the study of Russia’s policy towards the Rose revolution, which took place in November 2003 in Georgia. It became the first color revolution in the post-Soviet space, during which a complex of technologies for changing political regimes, tested in Serbia three years earlier, again demonstrated its eff ectiveness. Despite the fact that many aspects of this color revolution have received decent coverage in the scientifi c literature to date, the position and policy of the Russian state in relation to this coup d’etat still remain virtually unexplored. The article provides an overview of Russian-Georgian relations in the post-Soviet period, analyzes the reaction of the Russian authorities to the parliamentary elections held on November 2, 2003 in Georgia, evaluates and systematizes the statements and concrete steps of Russian politicians and diplomats during the implementation of the Rose revolution. The authors used documents from the Archive of Foreign Policy of the Russian Federation, many of which are being introduced into scientifi c circulation for the fi rst time, electronic resources of Russian state authorities, materials from leading Russian and foreign media. It is concluded that in order to preserve political stability in Georgia, Moscow took a neutral position and even contributed to the settlement of the internal crisis in the country, but as a result of the color revolution anti-Russian forces came to power in Tbilisi, whose policy subsequently led to a signifi cant deterioration of Russian-Georgian relations and to an aggravation of the situation in the South Caucasus region as a whole.
