The author sees the expediency of a study in analyz-ing the results of the implementation of the program “Moscow longevity”, not only from the point of view of expanding the opportunities for the participation of senior citizens in leisure activities, as indicated in official documents, but also of overcoming the un-certainty of the life situation, minimizing the risks of the elderly through involvement in cultural and lei-sure activities. Low engagement rates indirectly characterize the conscious choice of elderly Musco-vites not in favor of the Moscow Longevity program. Most of all complaints are caused by unsuitable conditions for classes, as well as poor organization of activities. Senior citizens are still at risk due to the vacuum and uncertainty of the future. In the condi-tions of uncertainty associated with the forced in-definite self-isolation, this manifested itself especial-ly sharply: both the Moscow Longevity program and many elderly residents of the capital were not ready to break the usual way of life.
