Formation of the Welfare State Under the Development of New Socio-Political Risks in Modern Russia

The relevance of this study is determined by the new challenges to the state and society brought by the COVID - 19 pandemic and the socio-economic problems caused by it, as well as social and political risks. Under these conditions, the role of the state and its social function increases exponentially, which requires new approaches and an adequate response to the current challenges. Without a scientific analysis of this issue, it is impossible to increase the effectiveness of the social policy of the state as the main factor in the formation of a social state, which enhances the relevance of our work.
The purpose of the study is to conduct a political analysis of the social policy of the Russian state in the face of the emergence of new socio-political risks caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
The objectives of the study were: 1) analysis of the socio-political problems of the state during the pandemic; 2) identification of measures of social support of citizens from the state; 3) justification for increasing the effectiveness of social policy as a condition for the formation of a welfare state.
Methodology: when preparing the article, general scientific methods of analysis and synthesis of information were used. Based on network analysis and situation monitoring. The base of sources was made up of normative documents, the works of leading Russian and foreign experts investigating this issue, speeches by the head of state and members of the government.
Results. Based on the analysis of the socio-political problems of the state during the pandemic, measures of social support for citizens from the state were identified, which made it possible to substantiate directions for increasing the effectiveness of social policy as a condition for the formation of a welfare state.
Conclusion. Russia, as the practice of recent years shows, has a fairly large potential and resources to implement the concept of a welfare state. A number of measures that make our state truly social are already enshrined in the updated Constitution, it's just a matter of implementation. This is extremely important for the country during the period of sanctions and challenges of the pandemic, the implementation of the decisions made in the regions and municipalities is currently the most problematic place in the formed system of government.
