There are three approaches to legal experiments (including digital innovations) inRussia. The first approach is accepting special regulation on different issues. There are recent examples of special laws (e.g. Federal Law on the experiment with artificial intelligence technologies inMoscow). An alternative to this option is establishing experimental regulation by an act of the Government if legislation does not prohibit it (e.g. labeling with means of identification). The second approach deals only with Fintech innovations and provides a special mechanism to pilot models of innovative financial technologies. The participants of such a “sandbox” may create a close-to-life model in order to estimate the effects and risks. If the model works fine, the regulation may be amended. The third approach works with creating a universal mechanism of real-life experiments in the sphere of digital innovations based on the special Federal Law and the specific decision of the Government of theRussian Federationor the Bank of Russia in the financial sphere. The author compares the three approaches and their implementation within the framework of Russian legislation and practice and concludes that this experience may be used by developing countries with inflexible regulation, in order to facilitate the development of digital innovations.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>«Регулятивные песочницы» рассматриваются как особый механизм экспериментального регулирования в области цифровых инноваций (в первую очередь в области финансовых технологий), который создает специальный правовой режим для ограниченного числа участников в течение определенного времени. В России представлен собственный способ подобного регулирования, который не является типичным, но может оказаться полезным для других государств. Так, существуют три соответствующих подхода к правовым экспериментам. Первый — введение специального правового регулирования. Речь идет об издании специальных законов (к примеру, Федеральный закон об эксперименте с технологиями искусственного интеллекта в Москве) либо установлении экспериментального регулирования подзаконным актом правительства (например, маркировка средствами идентификации). Второй подход касается только инноваций в сфере финансовых рынков и предоставляет специальный правовой режим для пилотирования моделей инновационных финансовых технологий. Участники такой «песочницы» могут создать приближенную к жизни модель для оценки последствий и рисков ее внедрения. Если модель будет функционировать оптимально, в правовое регулирование могут быть внесены соответствующие изменения. Третий подход касается создания универсального механизма реальных правовых экспериментов в сфере цифровых инноваций. Автор сопоставляет указанные подходы, используемые в Российской Федерации, и приходит к выводу, что этот опыт может оказаться полезным для развивающихся стран с довольно жестким регулированием в целях содействия развитию цифровых инноваций.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>песочницы</kwd><kwd>регулятивная песочница</kwd><kwd>цифровые инновации</kwd><kwd>правовой эксперимент</kwd><kwd>российский опыт</kwd><kwd>цифровое право</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>sandboxes</kwd><kwd>regulatory sandbox</kwd><kwd>digital innovation</kwd><kwd>legal experiment</kwd><kwd>Russian experience</kwd><kwd>digital law</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Allen, H.
