In this chapter the authors focus on the application of AAI domains in Russia and at the subnational level of Russian Federal Districts, to find methodological and real-life challenges in the process of evaluating and enhancing wellbeing of older people. Total AAI for Russia accounts for 30.2 points, which corresponds to the 22nd rank among 29 countries. Enabling environment and capacity are the most contributing domains of active ageing in Russia. Employment and social participation domains contribute considerably less to active ageing provision. Little difference between Russian regions in overall scores is accompanied by considerable variations of sub-indices within all domains in the regions. The practical use of the AAI in Russia could be beneficial for the state policy aimed at ensuring older adults’ wellbeing while population ageing.
