Аннотация: In Russia, in 2020, the pandemic led to a remarkable decentralization inthe power distribution from the federal government to the regional authorities, whichwere free to choose restrictive measures and, in general, to implement strategies todeal with the pandemic and its consequences. Based on an analysis of legal regulationsand statistical data, the chapter examines how policy measures varied amongRussian regions and how they reflected the trade-off between spread of the disease,economic well-being, and political priorities, all highly dependent on the regionalcontext. We conclude that although regional authorities acquired responsibility forthe situation, during the pandemic they often had a lack of relevant resources to dealwith its economic consequences. Crises primarily affected the market servicessector, for example, hotels, catering, culture and leisure enterprises, and B2Bservices. The resulting unemployment rates varied highly among regions partlybecause of the initial differences in the sectoral structure of labor markets, but alsodue to the effectiveness of policy measures adopted by regional and local governments.The case of St. Petersburg, which recorded the highest death rates fromCOVID-19 in Russia, shows the incompleteness and contradictions in official statistics that complicated the adoption of governmental decisions. Inadequateregional and municipal budget planning and implementation undermined an effectivepolicy response to the pandemic in the city.
