The article examines the place of science in modern society and its role as a source of true innovations, an activator of the scientific and innovative process, as well as its significance for society as a whole and its social development.

The main regulatory legal acts regulating the management of science in Russia,
the transition from predominantly short- and medium-term planning of scientific, technological and technical development to long-term planning are considered. Despite the developed regulation in this area, issues of control over the implementation of decisions made, distribution of responsibility for failure to achieve set goals, and assessment of the effectiveness of the activities of scientific employees have not received proper answers.
A comparative study of the financial aspects of state policy in the scientific field was carried out (including the structure of internal costs for R&D, the main indicators of science financing). Trends have been identified in the reduction of both the volume of funding for fundamental research, both in relation to GDP and in absolute terms, taking into account inflation (in constant 2000 prices), and in the number of enterprises involved in the financing and conduct of research and development.
It is concluded that the concentration of government efforts on supporting applied research is not effective enough. Given Russia's leading position in the world in terms of the volume of government funding for R&D carried out by the business sector, the latter's share in the total volume of financing of domestic R&D costs has not increased.
Hypotheses are formulated about the reasons for the insufficient effectiveness of the state policy of financing science and recommendations for eliminating them

In the doctrine of competition law, the approach is generally accepted, according to which the main criterion for the market power of an economic entity is the size of the market share. This criterion is questioned when it comes to the need to determine the market power of the economic entity — the owner of the digital platform. In this regard, it became necessary to develop new criteria for market power in relation to owners of digital platforms.
In a number of foreign countries, the procedures for amending antitrust laws have been initiated or have already been completed, which are aimed at resolving new approaches to the market power of digital platform companies.
The article proposes an analysis of both traditional and new concepts of market power, which are reflected in the legislation of a number of foreign countries. The key differences between modern concepts of market power and the concept of the dominant position of an economic entity in the commodity market are considered
