Despite the number of new daily cases remaining high, restrictions are being lifted quickly ahead of key political events.
The grim milestone of 500,000 cases and high number of daily cases comes amid a relatively swift lifting of coronavirus restrictions that were imposed in late March. Russia allowed manufacturing and construction industries to reopen in mid-May, followed by more non-essential retailers reopening on June 1, ranging from hairdressers to pet stores.

Starting from 9 June, Moscow's beauty and hair salons, which were closed due to the Covid-19 pandemic, reopen.Analysts think the lifting of restrictions is coming deliberately early ahead of the June 24 Victory Day Parade in Moscow, an event that fosters national pride and seen as a key show of strength for President Vladimir Putin.
In addition, Putin is looking ahead to the referendum on July 1 and lifting measures early could secure the public's approval in the vote at a time when his own approval ratings have fallen amid the crisis. "The tracing app released by Moscow city authorities has had major issues and has issued repeated fines to compliant users. Reliable data on voluntary compliance with other lockdown measures, including social distancing and mask wearing, is patchy but reportedly quite poor," he said.
"Although this raises the risk of renewed disease outbreak in the capital, Russia is no different from many other countries which have started lifting restrictions without seeing a significant drop in new infections," he said.
