Methodology of scientific study includes application of historical, logical, comparative legal methods of scientific knowledge, as well as the method of system analysis, which makes it possible to clearly identify the systemic connections between the legal processes and phenomena under study. Findings: the authors of the article analyzed theory and practice of electronic democracy in the field of environmental protection in Russia, showed the potential of introduction of environmental petitions and environmental voting, analyzed the practice of interaction of citizens and authorities in terms of websites of federal and regional environmental authorities of Russia. Conclusion: today, in the activity of environmental authorities we observe just the first steps for creation of the electronic democracy system, consisting in the possibility of obtaining information on the website of authorities, as well as “one-way interaction”, that is, the possibility for citizens and legal entities to download forms of particular documents from the website. At the moment, additional efforts of authorities are necessary to transit to two-way electronic interaction, which will be an important step towards personal involvement of all interested citizens in the process of making environmental management decisions.
