Russia

What are the concerns of the youth of Russia? What is the attitude of the country’s latest generation, which has little or no memory of the Soviet Union? How does a young person, influenced mainly by the turbulent 1990s and the upswing in the 2000s, think about Russia and the world – especially in light of increasing de-democratisation and already more than 5 years of confrontation between Russia and “the West”? The Levada Centre, commissioned by the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung, has attempted to answer these questions through the 2019/2020 Youth Study - Russia representative survey, conducted in mid-2019, of 1500 young Russians between the ages of 14 and 29, supplemented with focus groups.

The study is also available in Russian.

The comparative study Young worlds? Political and social views of young people in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus sets out to assess our knowledge of young people’s political and social attitudes by drawing on data obtained by the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES) from young people in Ukraine from July to August 2017, and in Russia from May to June 2019, as well as from several surveys undertaken by the Centre for East European and International Studies (ZOiS) and other institutions. The comparative study is also available in Russian.
