THE IMPACT OF SANCTIONS ON THE STANDARD OF LIVING OF THE RUSSIAN POPULATION: OBJECTIVE CONSEQUENCES AND SUBJECTIVE PERCEPTION
Since 2014, sectoral sanctions against Russia have had an extremely contradictory impact on the Russian economy, however, starting from 2022, there has been an increase in the scale and number of restrictions imposed. Despite this, macrostatistics confirms the insufficiency of the ratio of planned and actual effects of sanctions pressure, which, despite the attempt to implement the “smart sanctions”, was also intended to affect the deterioration of the standard of living of the Russian population. The goal of the paper is to characterize the effects of the imposition of sanctions on certain parameters that make up the standard of living of the Russian population, both from objective (based on macroeconomic statistics) and subjective (assessed by survey results) points of view.
The hypothesis of the study lies in the insufficient effectiveness of the impact of sanctions restrictions from “unfriendly countries” on the Russian population in terms of possible provocation of an increase in protest activity. The publication uses statistical methods, content analysis of academic publications, and elements of institutional analysis. The main scientific result of the work is a contribution to the academic discussion on the impact of antiRussian sanctions on the Russian economy in relation to their effectiveness. In particular, it is shown that, both according to statistical indicators characterizing the standard of living and according to survey data, the effectiveness of the impact of sanctions is objectively insufficient to provoke protest activity.

Social Infrastructure in Rural Areas: Applicability of Integrated Assessments
The paper analyzes a current state of the social infrastructure in rural areas of the Vologda Oblast applying an integrated index of the social structure development offered by the authors. We show that the social infrastructure includes not only material object, but also a wide set of services and programs aimed at the human and regional development. We test an approach to assessing the social structure development by applying a set of statistical indicators which reflect the state of major economic sectors and infrastructure for municipalities of the Vologda Oblast.
