Abstract: During the last year the world has been fighting with the coronavirus infection. It is important to research not only its development, but also its social consequences, especially those that are connected with the self-isolation regime. At the same time, monitoring studies are especially relevant that allow collecting material for further analysis of the impact of the imposed restrictions on people and for the adoption of managerial decisions by the authorities at various stages of the development of the pandemic, taking into account the possibility of the emergence of new dangerous infectious diseases. The goals of this study are to reveal the attitude of the Russians to different aspects of self-isolation imposed in the country to stop the pandemic and to analyze the behavior of people in this period, as well as the problems they faced. The analysis is based on the results of sociological survey (700 people took part in the survey) held in February of 2021 and the secondary analysis of the content of multi-modal texts devoted to the phenomenon of self-isolation (2000 have been analyzed). The following results were obtained: 1) the population has an ambiguous attitude to the regime of self-isolation, realizing its necessity and at the same time underlining the problems and difficulties that it generates; 2) the Russians generally complied with the restrictions of the lockdown; 3) some of the respondents demonstrated a rather critical attitude towards the actions of the Russian authorities in the conditions of self-isolation and showed distrust in the official information. The main problems caused by the self-isolated regime are identified: strained relations within the family; psychological tension caused by the lack of money. Obviously, it is necessary to continue such research as long as the pandemic and the restrictions continue.
