Annotation: This paper contains the analysis of the modern level and the living quality of the Russian population. It has been noted that the continuing crisis in Russia increases the level of wealth inequality and feeds fragmentation of the society. Unfortunately, in general throughout the country, the level of the population’s living quality has decreased to the level of 2009, and the recovery will be possible only in the mid-2020s. According to the forecast of the Analytical Credit Rating Agency (ACRA) in 2017 the wealth decline will be equal to 0.2%, while the next three years it will hardly exceed 1%. The paper contains the analysis of the population’s living quality rated by the regions. In accordance with the rating of the Russian population’s living quality by the regions, the RIA-Rating Agency reports Moscow, Saint-Petersburg and the Moscow Oblast are the leading regions, while the outsiders with the lowest quality of living are the Karachay-Cherkess Republic, Ingushetia and Tuva. In some regions, significant decline in the living quality is observed.
