People and their capabilities should be the ultimate criteria for assessing the development of any country in the world. In this connection, the problem of widespread social exclusion in modern society, the emergence of its new types and the search for ways to overcome it still does not lose its relevance.

The purpose of the article is to clarify the main types, manifestations, prevalence of social exclusion in modern societies, as well as to analyze the features of social exclusion in Russia. Negative tendencies of social, economic and political development in the world over the past decade are noted, including: global problems of resource scarcity, uncontrolled decline in living standards, economic and social instability, military operations and forced migration, which are intensifying the processes of degradation and marginalization of society. It is noted that the study of the theoretical aspects of social exclusion as social exclusion stimulates the search for practical ways to overcome poverty, poverty, orphanhood, unevenness and injustice, overcoming manifestations of social deprivation, various social barriers that restrict the access of certain groups of people to cultural benefits, as well as effective protection of the rights and freedoms of all people without exception. The article examines the main methods and social practices of overcoming social exclusion in Russia and in the world, including social art in general and social theater in particular. The main aspects of the application of social theater from the perspective of the practice of social inclusion have been clarified.
