Abstract
The social well-being of the Russian middle class in terms of the dynamics of its financial standing and opportunities of successful self-actualization has somewhat improved. According to representatives of the middle class, the prospects of self-actualization depend primarily on a high level of education, rather than an opportunity to start one’s own business or find a new job. However, more than a half of the respondents from the core and close periphery of the middle class fear the future.
