Abstract: The article analyzes the social and economic consequences of the new coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic based on Russian and Latin American cases. The choice is made due to the similarities of economic systems and the structure of state authorities. Political errors of the authorities, their causes, and effects for the countries of Brazil, Ecuador, Bolivia, Chile, and Russia are under consideration. The implications for the penitentiary systems of the countries are compared and analyzed: Latin America followed global recommendations and reduced the number of detentions, increased the number of paroles; isolation and strict restrictions on visits were introduced in Russian prisons. The author highlighted the risks and vulnerabilities for the development of the Russian and Latin American regions, which are caused by the pandemic, including the ones on the international scale. The consequence of the pandemic was a change in the structure of government bodies in the compared regions, an increase in prices for raw materials, a crisis of migrants, personal psychological problems, etc. It is concluded that the COVID-19 pandemic in Latin America and Russia has led to the aggravation of previously existing problems in the social, economic, and political spheres of states.
