Importance This article focuses on the issues of overcoming poverty and social disadvantage, which are ones of the main problems of sustainable development in Russia.
Objectives The article aims to investigate the poverty level in Russia and analyze and compare the global trends of poverty development, and reveal its Russian specificity.
Methods For the study, I used the methods of logical, comparative, economic and statistical analyses, and official statistics, as well.
Results The article presents evidence that in Russia, the poverty among working citizens continues growing, pensions are increasing slowly, and as a result, the living standards of pensioners are decreasing.
Conclusions The current system of social protection of the population in conditions of economic instability has been unable to fully cope with the impoverishment of the general population and it still does not provide adequate protection for the poor. The situation is connected with weak development of tendencies to the socially oriented economy.

Keywords: poverty, social deprivation, social inequalities, sustainable development
