Trofimova I.N. The Dynamics of the Socio-Economic Situation of Russians during the 2014-2015 Crisis: Settlement Factor

Abstract: The article discusses the features of the socio-economic situation of Russians living in different types of settlements. The relevance of the study is justified by the growing importance of the issue of inequality, both between different strata of population, as well as between territorial communities. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of social well-being dynamics under the 2014-2015 crisis. The author examines the impact of the crisis on the public perception of the situation in the country, the situation in certain areas of life, personal prospects of citizens, potential risks and ways to adapt to them. Theoretical and methodological basis of the study is a set of provisions, reasoning the interconnection between socio-economic and territorial settlement aspects of the organisation and development of society. The main conclusion of the study is the identification of significant differences in the dynamics of socio-economic status of Russians living in different types of settlements. The negative impact of the 2014-2015 crisis to a larger extent affected people living in small and medium-sized cities, as well as in the industrial settlements, and to a lesser degree - the inhabitants of megalopolices and villages. Aligning the level of socio-economic development of territories and improving the life quality of citizens, regardless of their place of residence, is a strategic objective of public policy.
