A problem of social sequences of lung tuberculosis has not been reflected in the literature. This study was aimed to investigate social sequences of tuberculosis. We examined a continuous sample of 100 patients with lung tuberculosis (LT) while being treated in a hospital, of them 62 males and 38 females aged 22 to 56 yrs. Fifty patients had infiltrative LT, and other 50 ones had fibrocavitating LT. The diagnosis was reached based on typical clinical, radiological, laboratory, and functional investigations. A special questionnaire was developed to study social sequences of LT. Results showed social isolation is typical for both the newly diagnosed LT patients and chronic LT. The fibrocavitating LT patients experienced negative attitude of relatives and community, worsening working conditions and narrowing fields of interest. The infiltrative LT patients were characterized by changes in marital status and disorders of living plans. Therefore, all LT patients experience social sequences of the disease.

The article deals with the problems associated with digitalization of the legal environment and some types of legal activities. The problems under consideration include the increase in electronic document flow, the so-called «electronic justice», electronic communication technologies in legislative and law enforcement activities. The author substantiates the premise concerning the inevitability of transformation of the legal system under the influence of information and communication technologies. The article describes the experience of some foreign countries where the technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution have been used for quite a long time. The problems that arise due to the use of digital technologies in the legal sphere are outlined. The author highlights the role of digital information and its importance for managerial and administrative decision-making and maps changes associated with legal forms of the activity of the State. Predictions are made regarding the development of the legal system and the system of legislation, legal profession and some types of legal activities in the short term. The author substantiates the premise that the development of technologies is almost the main factor of competitiveness of a modern State.

The paper investigates the range of factors and circumstances that will determine the vector of development of the system of law and the system of legislation of the Russian Federation, and the legal system as a whole. The author demonstrates the conditionality of law as a universal social regulator of the processes that occur in various segments of the society, primarily in the economy. For this reason, the paper is devoted to factors that are not associated with law. First, the paper deals with the pandemic issues that have obviously destroyed conventional forms of existence both at national and international levels. In this regard, the country’s earlier development guidelines, which are reflected in economic, political and legal doctrines, are called into question. First, this applies to the economic system that has developed in the course of the reforms of the last 20—30 years, which have effectively led to the deindustrialization of the country and technological retardation that is difficult to overcome. It is suggested that implementation of a global economic project should be curtailed and that States should primarily focus on meeting the needs of the domestic market. In this regard, the issue of transforming the legal system in the context of a new reality will inevitably arise.
