On 9 June 2020, COVID-19-related quarantine measures were at last suspended in Moscow. Russian government claimed that an effective tool to predict future post-COVID-19 development of Russia would be mass screening of Russian population for antibodies to SARS-CoV-2. However, analysing the techniques used by Moscow and several other Russian local authorities to detect antibodies, we come to a conclusion that such screening is being performed ineffectively. An alternate has been proposed in the paper. Key words: SARS-CoV-2, antibody test, mass screening, population screening, herd immunity, post-COVID social development
