- Abstract
The article is devoted to the analysis of one of the global problems of humanity - the problem of social inequality. The COVID-19 pandemic, being an infectious trauma, destabilized economic development, exacerbated social inequality in the world, deepened the social trauma in post-Soviet Russia, formed from the collapse of the industrial system, and the transition to the export of raw materials to foreign markets. The conceptualization of approaches to this problem will make it possible to comprehend the measure of the balance between saving the economy, saving people’s lives, and the future post-pandemic development of Russia. The article analyzes the steps of the Russian government to assist various categories of the population during the period of restrictions, forced unemployment. It is considered that only by abandoning the neoliberal course, it is possible to revive social justice, restore the country after a pandemic, and turn Russia into a high-tech power. The result of the study shows that it is possible to solve the problem of social inequality in Russian conditions by choosing the paradigm of planned methods of the country’s development.
