Abstract
Aim. The presented study aims to analyze the impact of the pandemic on Russian education at different levels.

Methods. This article uses general scientific methods of cognition, including analysis, synthesis, comparison, analogy.
Results. The major problems that arose during the mass introduction of innovative technologies at educational institutions during the pandemic and the positive results of their application are identified. Despite the ambiguous attitude to distance learning, this format has certain positive aspects due to the modernization of the educational process.
Conclusions. Digital technologies open up additional opportunities for personal development and self-improvement, giving access to information, digital tools, materials, and services.
