metadata.value: What is a digital society? How does trust work in this new digital world? What is its difference
  compared to previous types of trust? All of these issues are in the very focus of this article.
  The first part of the paper shows how sociologists characterize a digital society, which makes
  it fundamentally different from an industrial and postindustrial ones. A characteristic feature
  of digitalization is its comprehensiveness. All spheres of activity, individual and collective, are
  being organized in a new technological way. It is demonstrated that the most important effect of digitalization is a fundamental change in the structure of social time in terms of costs
  and benefits. The second part of the paper describes the processes of transformation of trust:
  from patriarchal and personal trust to impersonal, role-based and institutional trust; then to
  network type trust and digital trust. The digital world expands our capabilities and changes
  the functioning of trust in social and economic life. The radius of trust is expanding significantly and the number of social ties is growing, although they are becoming weaker, shorter,
  more fragile, and remote. Functionally in the economy, digital trust reduces transaction costs
  (exchange costs); and in the social world — the costs of social interaction. The third part deals
  with trust issues in the digital world of Russia. Russia occupies the second to last place in the
  rankings of the 2019 Digital Society Index. Russians believe that their basic digital needs (access to digital content and trust in information) are not adequately satisfied; they believe that
  the digital world does not serve to improve society and that the digital world will not provide
  them with career opportunities. Trust in the digital world is not expanding in Russia also due
  to digital illiteracy. It is ironic that with this low trust in digital technologies, the scale of their
  use by Russians is expanding. This article is a detailed report for the St. Petersburg International Labor Forum (February 27–28, 2020).
