To study issues of social deprivation and inequality, scientists explore factors, correlations and various indices and models. The deprivation indices are used in many countries to target interventions and policies to populations with the greatest needs. The aim of this research is to construct stratification scale of Russian households for the period of Covid-19 pandemic to study their social deprivation. The data source for household social deprivation is the Russian Longitudinal Monitoring Survey (RLMS-HSE). The results show that the digital divide of households in extreme poverty greatly increases their social exclusion and increases social deprivation. About 50% of extremely poor households live in rural areas. It confirms the ongoing income stratification of urban and rural residents. About 30% of households do not own a car. In the context of the restrictions of the self-isolation regime, this is a significant factor in social exclusion. Low incomes and material deprivation do not allow such households to change this situation. Even not all rich households have access to high-speed Internet. This may be due to the underdevelopment of high-speed Internet infrastructure.
