We rely on data from a number of nationwide surveys to analyze the specific features of the model of income stratification in Russian society in comparison with other countries (Germany, Hungary, Bulgaria, Venezuela, Mexico, and China). We show that the income stratification model, which is based on the principle of the correl…

The empirical foundation for the study is a representative sample of the 27th wave of RLMS – HSE. The article shows that the group of highly qualified Russian specialists is characterized by such socio-demographic specifics of it…
Negative Stabilization” and Factors of Population Welfare Dynamics in Post-Crisis Russia
Recent years have been characterized by a further drop in real incomes of Russians and the spread of pessimism among them regarding their material situation (after a short-term growth of optimistic expectations during the presidential campaign). The current situation in Russia in this area can be described as “negative stabilization”, because, although the decrease in the population’s incomes has stopped, they have stabilized at a lower level tha…
Динамика Некоторых Показателей Общего Человеческого Капитала Россиян В 2010-2015 Гг., "Социологические Исследования"
Анализируется динамика некоторых показателей общего человеческого капитала россиян. Показано, что в последние годы в отношениях работников и работодателей произошло смещение баланса сил в пользу работодателей. В этих условиях их заинтересованность в качестве человеческого капитала работников должна была бы привести к заметному росту его показателей. Однако этого не происходит, а «премии» на объем человеческого капитала очень низки и начиная со вт…
Income Stratification in Russia
This contribution, which is the first in a series of two articles, is based on data from a number of surveys that were conducted across Russia between 1999 and 2016. We analyze the features and trends in the models of income and subjective stratification of Russian society. We show that the middle strata dominate the existing model of income stratification, and this fact is well reflected in the minds of the population if we assess this on the ba…

The Impact of Crisis on the Life of the Russian Middle Class
This article uses the data of several national surveys (2003–2015) to analyze the changes in the size of the Russian middle class, including during periods of crisis in the Russian economy, and the influence of the economic crisis that started in 2014 on the middle class. It shows that although the income, life chances, and social protection of the country’s middle class have declined in the current crisis, the overall negative impact of the firs…
The Social Structure of Russian Society
The article suggests that the effect of the latest economic crisis on employment and the human capital of the working population not only exercises a negative impact on incomes and social protection, but has also reduced the country’s competitiveness in the international arena. That is especially the case for those domains in which changing jobs requires long and complex organizational efforts, but that are of great importance for the development…

It highlights the cultural-civilizational features of the Russian dream and its connection with the values and identities of Russians. It will show that the presence of a dream is the norm for Russian culture in general, but that in re…
Income Stratification in Russia
The paper analyzes general changes in the depth of inequalities in Russian society as a whole and the vector of changes in income stratification model of the mass strata in Russian society in comparison with the dynamics of income stratification models in several other countries — developed European, post-socialist, developing Latin American countries, and China. The two-way connection between income stratification models on one hand, and the his…
Poverty and Inequality in BRICS Countries
This article uses a broad sample of statistical material to show that poverty and inequality have different natures in different BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa). Using various methods to conceptualize the phenomenon of poverty, the authors are able to classify several types of poverty: preindustrial poverty in modern societies (India, South Africa), early industrial poverty of the lumpen urban poor (Brazil), indus…
Poverty in Contemporary Russian Society
The article uses statistical data and all-Russian sociological surveys conducted in 2003–2013 to analyze changes in poverty in Russian society.1 It is shown that, on the one hand, the scope of poverty in Russia decreased before the ongoing economic crisis started in 2014; on the other hand, those who remained poor have become the base for the formation of a “new periphery” which is significantly different from the rest of the population. The “new…
Stratification Factors in Today's Russia
Data from all-Russian surveys from the mid-1990s to 2013 have shown, as a result of the completion of the structural restructuring of the economy in Russia, an increase in the significance of stratification factors that foster intergenerational reproduction of classes, while the role of the factors linked to an individual's personal activity has diminished. The conclusion drawn is that the mechanisms of mobility that have emerged are leading the …
The Structural Preconditions and Basic Types of Poverty in Russia
The problem of poverty in Russia is analyzed in terms of "deprivation poverty" and "income poverty" in connection with problems of the multifaceted nature of the country's economy. The article examines the structural preconditions of poverty in Russia. It offers assessments of the different types of poverty (preindustrial, industrial, and postindustrial) and recommendations on how to combat poverty, taking into account the characteristics of each…
The Heterogeneous Character of Russian Poverty Through the Prism of the “Deprivation” and the “Absolute” Approaches
The article proposes a new approach to the analysis of poverty. Along with the criterion of poverty that is linked to people's incomes the authors propose to include criteria based on the analysis of people's deprivations. Formally their incomes may be higher than the subsistence minimum, but their actual situation in life may put them in a difficult position. The new approach to the problem of poverty dictates the need to change the priorities o…
Characteristics of the Status Identity and Consumption of the Middle Class

It finds that Russian society has become a society of a mass lower-middle class. It offers an assessment of the possibilities and necessary conditions for the expansion of the middle class in Russia. It finds that the numerical dominance of positions that are peripheral to it in the co…
Characteristics of the "Russian Modernists" and the Prospects of the Cultural Dynamic in Russia
Research on the normative values of Russians suggests that Russian society today has at least two varieties of the modern worldview. The standards, values, and attitudes not only differ quite substantially between them, but also differ from those generally associated with the Western version of "Modern Man." This makes it possible to say that in Russia an "alternative modernity" is taking shape, and that modernization in Russia is not proceeding …
The Lower Class in the Social Structure of Russian Society
Research data on the specific character of lower-class resources in Russia show that an underclass is nearing complete formation in the composition of the lower class. The lower class is forming primarily in small towns and villages, the middle class is concentrated in large cities, and the working class is distributed equally in all types of communities
The Dynamics of the Normative-Value System of Russian Society (1995-2010)
An a analysis of survey data on changes in the normative-value system of Russian society shows that while the system has remained neo-statocratic on the whole, in recent years it has undergone substantial changes testifying to the gradual erosion of its traditional nucleus
The Poor in Russia Today
During the economic growth of the early years of the 2000-2010 decade, the life chances of the lower 60 percent of Russians declined in relative terms, and the gap between them and the well-off segments of the population widened. During the current economic crisis it is likely that the gap will increase, and that the prospects of the low-income strata in Russia will not improve in the foreseeable future
The Causes and Prospects of Low-Income Poverty in Russia Today
The numbers of the low-income poor in Russia are unusually high in comparison to countries that have made the transition from the industrial stage to the late industrial stage of development, and this is due to the extreme depth of the social inequalities in Russia today and people's very low median incomes. The impact of the current economic crisis has strengthened these tendencies, and the worsening situation of the chronically low-income poor …
The Self-Identification of a Citizen of Russia
An analysis of survey data on the material condition of Russians and their self-evaluations of their lives; their sense of sociopsychological well-being and self-assessments of their social status; and the levels of traditionalism and modernism in Russian society. The majority of respondents do not feel they have much control over their lives

The Potential of Russia's Human Resources (1994)
Is Russia prepared to accept the challenge of the modern epoch, the challenge of high technology and the information industries? The answer to this question requires an assessment of its human resources, in which criteria such as individuality and creative competence must play a special role. Hence investigations into Russians' creative potential and their qualities as working people, as well as studies on the relationships among different segmen…
Social Values and the Political Process in Russia
The view that Russian consciousness has become lumpenized, a process retrospectively equated with the shift to the left or the "red shift" visible in the December 1995 elections, has been quite popular recently in the mass media and in the scientific literature. Can this actually be happening to the world views of our fellow citizens? What do they support and what do they oppose, in particular in regard to elections for representative bodies of g…
The Dynamics of Social Stratification in Post-Soviet Society
When we began our studies of the dynamics of group interests in civil society, we tried to determine what these would look like after the disintegration of the former social structure. Which groups, differing not in terms of formal attributes but in their actual positions in a society undergoing transformation, would emerge from its decomposition? Finally—and this is most important—what brings people together in such groups, and what are the basi…
On the Path to a New Stratification of Russian Society
The reform years brought radical changes not only to Russia's economy but also to its social life. In the course of this transformation, a unique experiment was performed on millions of people: a radical alteration of social stutus was peformed on millions of people: a radical alteration of social stuaus and position took place on a mass scale. What are these new strata, and in particular who are the outsiders? What factors detrmined the ocupatio…
