Abstract

In the context of the COVID crisis and on the eve of the elections to the State Duma of the Russian Federation, the risks of socio-political stability of Russian civil society have sharply increased. Factors such as the increasing distancing of the Russian state and citizens, the alienation of the vast majority of Russian civil society from the government and its mechanisms, the increase in socio-political contradictions and hostility in society, primarily between the poor and rich, between the lower and upper classes and between the people and the authorities, insufficient, according to self-assessment, the level of involvement of citizens in the political life of the country.
