State-legal mechanisms for attracting highly qualified specialists to the Russian Federation

the purpose of the study is to show the approaches of a modern legislator in the field of attracting highly qualified specialists as a factor of competitiveness of the Russian state. It has been established that the preservation and support of labor rather than civil law principles in relations with highly qualified specialists will expand the horizons of professional interaction with the Russian Federation, including allowing people to safely immerse themselves in its working and/or everyday life in order to further resettle. It has been revealed that the modernization of legislation through the specification of the qualification requirements of the VKS, the legalization of cross—border remote work based on labor law and the development of a visa for digital nomads seems not only appropriate, but also strategically necessary. This development will allow the Russian Federation to integrate into the global processes of labor digitalization and strengthen the competitiveness of the national economy.
