Abstract
The article attempts to identify the relationship between the level of protest activity and the quality of life of the population. Modern approaches to the concept of quality of life are considered. Through the prism of the impact of changes in the quality of life on the protest activity of the population, the problems of ensuring national security are analyzed, it is shown that in Russian society the proportion of people who consider their standard of living unacceptably poor is growing, and the decrease in the level of satisfaction of Russians with their lives is an increasing threat to national security. It is noted that there is a need to focus on the subjective components of the quality of life in the analysis of protest activity and problems of ensuring the national security of Russia.
