Subject The article addresses the implementation of socially oriented development in the Russian Federation and in the countries with traditional models of the social welfare State. Objectives The aim is to perform a comparative analysis of traditional models of the social welfare State and the Russian Federation on the basis of socio-economic indicators (annual average growth in gross domestic product, inequality, unemployment, migration, the share of tax revenues in gross domestic product, indicators in the sphere of education and healthcare), and reveal the specifics of socially oriented development of the Russian Federation. Methods The study employs methods of statistical analysis, comparative analysis, and graphic interpretation of statistics. Results The study unveils similar trends in the social development that exist in traditional models of the social welfare State, the focus of public policy on providing at least minimal social guarantees, the use of social insurance, and extended accessibility of quality social services. It also emphasizes differences that are connected with historical principles of social policy, the level of decommodification due to modern economic development. Conclusions The comparative analysis enabled to identify the presence of elements of considered models in the model of socially oriented development of Russia and directions of further measures for increasing socio-economic indicators, including the increase in life expectancy and quality of life for citizens, improvement of the quality of social services, reduction of inequality, promotion of high rates of economic growth, renovation of equipment and facilities, and training highly qualified specialists.
