In the article, the author analyzes the consolidation of the concept of “electronic government” in the Russian legal field, and also examines various theoretical and legal approaches to the definition of this concept within the framework of a broad and narrow understanding of its essence. The author comes to the conclusion that the optimal definition of e-government should combine both of these approaches, corresponding to the directions of its conceptual perception, characteristic of both the continental and Anglo-Saxon legal systems, and the subjects providing services in electronic format should include not only bodies public authorities, but, in general, bodies performing public functions, which should also be reflected in the final definition.
