Abstract: Based on empirical data from a sociological study conducted in April and May 2019, the article analyzes the structure of socio-economic and perceived parameters of quality of life. The research was funded by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research. The article using the factor analysis revealed the typological structure of the values of the adult population of Russia. It is shown that it remains predominantly ?materialistic? (according to R. Inglehart). The most significant is the value of patriotism, and it has a twofold nature - active patriotism and warlike patriotism, each of which expresses a different understanding of love for the motherland. The high importance of family and material wealth remains. The role of ?post-materialist? values is insignificant. The author defined the state of such parameters of the perceived quality of life as physical activity, the importance of physical issues in restricting life activity, the state of mental health, the significance of emotional issues in restricting life activity, the volume of subjective pain sensations, the general state of health, vitality, and social activity. The nature of their change in the 21st century, from 2002 to 2020, is shown. The nature of the relationship between the state of socio-economic and perceived components of the quality of life is determined.
