The perception of the crisis by Russians
Usually, my opinion does not coincide with the opinion of the majority recorded during mass polls. However, my feeling that last year everything became noticeably worse than in the previous year, it, apparently, shares most of the Rosians, although I am sure that such data cannot be accurate even with the most sophisticated technique (too unsteady object).
According to Levada Center (12/28/2015), “the share of Russians who consider the outgoing year more difficult for themselves and their family than the previous one reached 55% (against 39% in 2014), approaching the 2009 crisis indicator. Compared to last year, among the population, ideas were increased that the outgoing year was unsuccessful (from 26% to 37%) and“ bad ”and“ bad ”and“ bad ”and“ bad ”) and“ bad ”and“ bad ”) (from 15% to 25%). "
Thus, the crisis also turns into a clear phenoma of public consciousness.
According to another survey , Levada Center (12/17/2015) , "80% of Russians agree with the opinion that Russia is now an economic crisis. Most of the Russians are sure that this crisis will be long: 22% believe that it will continue" at least two years ", 21%-" The crisis will be very long-term. "Every fifth will take on a lot of temporary forecasts. Only a quarter of the population believes in the population. The fact that the crisis will end in the near future - in six months or a year, forced to save, both on food and on prolonged goods, increased from 37% to 58% for a year and from 38% to 57%, respectively. "
Thus, the optics through which the Russians look at the world is already significantly colored by the crisis - both as a diagnosis of the present and as a feeling of the future.
