ABSTRACT
The COVID-19 pandemic caused by the SARS CoV-2 virus, which struck in the years 2020-2021, was characterized by a global scale, an unprecedented pace of spread, fundamental uncertainty and interrelation of health, social and economic phenomena. Russia faced an extremely high mortality rate caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus will come to an end. But its economic and social consequences will be suffered for a long time. The deep recession of 2020 and the great uncertainty as to the medium term accelerated changes in the model of social and economic life, promoted by the technology revolution, towards a digital economy and remote education system. In a theoretical analysis, falls in production in an economy without access to a vaccine reach, at peak incidence, 18.3% to 19.9% if severe restrictions are imposed in response to the epidemic, or 10.4% to 10.9% if a liberal approach is adopted.
