The paper attempts to study one of the most unusual branches of anarchist philosophy and its impact on the digital life and politics of several states. With the help of functional and comparative methods of political research, the author analyzes crypto-anarchism as part of the ideology of anarchism, the main goal of which is to find out how viable crypto-anarchism is as an independent movement. The article raises the question of whether the ideas of crypto-anarchism can be used to effectively address current socio-political problems. The theoretical basis of crypto-anarchism looks more and more relevant, as it affects the security of the individual on the Web and is aimed at fighting against widespread state control. Despite the fact that, as the study showed, cryptoanarchism as a movement does not have sufficient elaboration and influence on real politics, its deeper study can be useful for preparing political programs aimed at Internet users (which constitute around 62.5 % of the global population), as well as studying political models and their development paths using virtual simulations and virtual states (Liberland, Wirtland), which are characteristic of crypto-anarchism.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">Одно из наиболее современных течений анархизма - криптоанархизм - возникло как ответ на глобальное развитие цифровых технологий и сети Интернет, и функционирует исключительно в рамках «глобальной паутины». В работе предпринята попытка изучения одного из самых необычных ответвлений анархической филоcофии и его влияния на цифровую жизнь и политику некоторых государств. С помощью функционального и сравнительного методов политического исследования автор проводит анализ криптоанархизма как части идеологии анархизма, основная цель которого - выяснить, насколько криптоанархизм жизнеспособен как самостоятельное движение. В статье ставится вопрос о том, могут ли идеи криптоанархизма использоваться для эффективного решения актуальных общественно-политических проблем. Теоретическая база криптоанархизма с каждым днем выглядит все более актуальной, так как затрагивает безопасность личности в сети и направлена на борьбу против повсеместного государственного контроля. И несмотря на то, что, как показало исследование, криптоанархизм как движение не имеет достаточной проработанности и влияния на реальную политику, его более глубокое изучение может быть полезно при составлении политических программ, направленных на пользователей интернета (которые составляют 62,5 % от всего населения Земли), а также при изучении политических моделей и путей их развития при помощи виртуальных симуляций и виртуальных государств (Либерленд, Виртландия), которые свойственны криптоанархизму.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>anarchism</kwd><kwd>crypto-anarchism</kwd><kwd>digital security</kwd><kwd>internet</kwd><kwd>info-anarchism</kwd><kwd>cypherpunks</kwd><kwd>hacktivism</kwd><kwd>WikiLeaks</kwd><kwd>Liberland</kwd><kwd>virtual state</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>анархизм</kwd><kwd>криптоанархизм</kwd><kwd>цифровая безопасность</kwd><kwd>интернет</kwd><kwd>инфоан архизм</kwd><kwd>шифропанки</kwd><kwd>хактивизм</kwd><kwd>WikiLeaks</kwd><kwd>Либерленд</kwd><kwd>виртуальное государство</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Call, L.
