Abstract
The assessment of the development of the information society could bring information about changes needed for sustainable development. As the information society has grown to become an ever-more critical part of the competitiveness of nations, a wide range of indicators, composite indices and international rankings have been developed to compare national performance. Based on Russia's official targets and documents, four of the leading composite indices on ICT development were selected for analysis: e-Government Development Index, Network Readiness Index, Knowledge Economy Index and ICT Development Index. The researches selected a gap analysis method for describing Russia's weaknesses in world rankings. The study resulted in a list of recommendations to improve information society development in Russia.
