Abstract
Objectives: The article aims to discuss educational problems during the period of 2019-nCoV (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic lockdown in Russia and examines the peculiarities of innovative educational technologies within the modern educational paradigm in the context of teaching under a lockdown pressure. Special attention is paid to analyses of positive and negative aspects of lockdown distance learning, representing the concept of innovative pedagogy as a combined pedagogical approach that offers an alternative to existing teaching methods. The authors consider a lockdown educational experience to be a first step to a new era of educational technologies based on a principle of health safety and proper time management that could be achieved by application of online teaching methods. The authors describe the alternative didactic platforms such as Zoom and WhatsApp; define the term “distance learning” and the phenomenon designated by it. Special attention is paid to the consideration of a number of factors that hinder the introduction of innovative educational technologies and the reform of the educational system as a whole in the context of a lockdown. Methodology: In our research we applied several methods that suit the objectives of the work: Statistical Data collection; Observation; Analysis.

Summary
The year of 2020 turned out to be a year of great upheavals for the entire world community marked with a transition to a new era of development and evolution of society – the era of social disconnection and distance interaction. The fear of an unknown disease spread, the defenselessness of humanity before a new unexpected enemy forced the governments of the entire world community, one by one, to declare a total lockdown, which led to a complete stop of the life activity of society in the familiar way. Covid-19 spread affected the life and health of people, and introduced the rules of a new reality: separation, social distancing, a ban on personal communication, the closure of educational institutions of all levels, the shutdown of production and trade facilities led to the most severe consequences for the economy of the world community countries. Educational institutions have been closed completely or partially, and many students were transferred to distance learning. [2]
