Abstract
Any economic crisis, even the least important one, immediately affects the social structure of society. The criteria for the effectiveness of social development is the growth of final consumption and the objective awareness of people of the effectiveness of their life strategies. The processes that are unfolding in the world economy have significantly accelerated the destruction of the social strata that in any society ensures the stability. The middle class — the opposite of the precariate — is under the crosshairs of the economy and epidemic. Quantitative differences in the parameters of the middle class in Europe and Russia should not interfere with the perception of the key common point: a precariate devoid of social guarantees has come for a long time, if not forever. The crisis will significantly accelerate the change in the social structure of society, both in Europe and Russia.
