Description
Summary:	This article aims to establish COVID-19's socio-psychological influence on religion. This interdisciplinary study's theoretical framework embraces the social-ecological systems framework, the concept of deprivation, the theory of religious myth-making, religious individualism and bricolage, as well as the concept of quality of life. A sociological survey was conducted of 4,700 residents of Moscow and the Moscow region. The results revealed that the social sphere of society was relatively stable during the pandemic. Exploring COVID-19's socio-psychological influence, this study examines transformations in religion that resulted from tactile deprivation.
