Abstract: The purpose of the study is to identify the 'digitalisation trap' of regions as the cause of Russia's digital lag in the global world order. The authors identified the structural components of the 'digitalisation trap' of Russian regions: existing digital gaps between regions resulting from different levels of digital infrastructure formation, gaps in the implementation of opportunities for long-term development of regions using digital technologies, as well as inefficient regional digitalisation policies. The authors proposed a methodology for assessing the structural components of the 'digitalisation trap'. The calculation of the overall integral indicator of the effectiveness of regional digital development allowed the authors to rank the regions of Russia and propose effective measures to overcome the 'digitalisation trap'. The author's methodology for assessing the 'digitalisation trap' of regions can be used to improve the state policy of digital development in developing countries.
