Abstract
The article is devoted to the study and analysis of positive practices used by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Russia in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. The largest development of small and mediumsized businesses over the period 2016 to 2019 was in such areas of activity as services, trade, construction, industrial production, agriculture. The introduction of strict quarantine measures had a negative impact on the financial condition of all sectors of the economy, therefore, the most affected sectors of the Russian economy were identified. The article examines the positive practices used by SMEs from such affected areas of activity as tourism and hotel business and fitness industry. In the conditions of border closure, after the lifting of strict restrictions, domestic tourism has received the greatest development. The conducted research has shown that information technologies have helped SMEs to continue working, reduce costs and organize business processes more efficiently.
