Abstract: The article is concerned with the coronavirus epidemic in Russia. It aims to analyse the development dynamics of the disease and related political, economic and social measures adopted by the central and local governments, putting them into a broader socio- economic context. Conducting an analysis of chosen economic aspects and indicators, I argue that the Russian economy is better prepared for such a crisis in many respects in comparison with the Western economies. Therefore, I see the main risk for Russia and her elites not in the economic recession but in a prolonged negative epidemiologic situation and possible social as well as political consequences.

Key words: Coronavirus – Russia – Vladimir Putin – Economy – Crisis​
