This article attempts to assess the relationship between Internet usage at the individual and household levels in Rus-
sia and their socio-economic status using logistic regression based on data from the longitudinal study "Russian Moni-
toring of Economic Conditions and Health of the Population" (RLMS-HSE) from the perspective of the third level of 
the digital divide. The study found a statistically significant connection between targeted Internet use (for educational 
and work purposes) and income levels that are equal to or above the median, as well as the presence of higher education and  affiliation  with  more  qualified  professional  groups  (an  exception  was  noted  for  the  relationship  between  work-related Internet use and higher education). Internet usage for entertainment purposes showed an inverse relationship with higher education and affiliation with more qualified professional groups. Additionally, it was demonstrated that the most acute manifestation of the digital divide in Russia is age-related digital divide, as well as inequality in ICT skills.
