Most Russians spoke out against the revival of the monarchy in Russia
A century after the abdication of the throne of Emperor Nicholas II during the February Revolution of 1917 and against the backdrop of the idea of the idea of the head of the Crimea Sergey Aksenov, the sociologists found to return the monarchy that most Russians are opposed to this form of government, VTsIOM reports.
The share of Russians who say that, in principle, they are not against the monarchy, but do not see "such a person who could become a monarch in Russia," - 22%. Another 6% protrude "for the monarchy." These figures have changed little since 2006 (19% and 3%). At the same time, categorically against the existence of a monarchical form of government in our country today, 68% of Russians.
When answering a direct question about which form of government is more suitable for the Russian state today, only 8% call the monarchy in which power is inherited, while 88% - the republic.
Among those who are tolerant of the monarchy are young people 18-34 years old, residents of both capitals, active Internet users and supporters of non-parliamentary parties.
The survey was conducted on March 16-18, 2017 among 1800 respondents on a random sample of telephone numbers. An error size with a probability of 95% does not exceed 2.5%.
The head of the Crimea, Sergei Aksenov on March 14, announced the need to return the monarchy to Russia, and also spoke out in favor of the endowment of President Vladimir Putin with great powers until the lifelong presidency and the introduction of the dictatorship.
