Actualization of this topic is carried out due to the technological development of modern society, the emergence of new social, political, economic and other actors, the concentration of a large amount of resources by them which could make them an influential power or an alternative of social and political organization. Using scoping methods, comparative and content analysis, as well as services of network and statistical analysis the article examines the level of virtual states’ embeddedness into Russian political and social sciences, the formation of the corresponding research field, direction or school. Special attention is paid to the Russian segment of world science in the framework of the study of virtual states and problems are faced by Russian researchers. This will allow researchers to see the context, the most relevant areas of work, help to correctly use the concepts in Russian and English academic texts.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Этот обзор посвящен анализу и определению проблемного поля таких явлений и связанных с ними понятий, как микрогосударство, кибергосударство, виртуальное государство и другие. Актуальность темы исследования основывается на технологическом развитии современного общества, появлении новых социальных, политических, экономических и иных акторов, концентрацией в их руках большого объема ресурсов, делающих их влиятельной силой или альтернативой традиционной общественно-политической организации. С помощью методов обзора предметного поля, сравнительного и контентного анализа, а также сервисов сетевого и статистического анализа в статье исследуется степень интеграции виртуальных государств как предмета исследования в российскую политологию и социальные науки, формирование соответствующего исследовательского поля, основные направления и школы. Особое внимание уделяется российскому сегменту мировой науки в рамках исследования виртуальных государств и проблем, с которыми сталкиваются российские исследователи. Проведенный автором научный обзор позволит исследователям увидеть контекст, наиболее актуальные направления работы, поможет правильно использовать соответствующие понятия в русско- и англоязычных научных текстах.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>virtual state</kwd><kwd>micronation</kwd><kwd>cyber-state</kwd><kwd>scoping review</kwd><kwd>social sciences</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>виртуальное государство</kwd><kwd>микрогосударство</kwd><kwd>кибергосударство</kwd><kwd>обзор предметного поля</kwd><kwd>социальные науки</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Arksey H., O’Malley L.
