The survey took place between 19 and 22 September 2014 and was conducted throughout all of Russia in both urban and rural settings. The survey was carried out among 1600 people over the age of 18 in 134 localities of 46 of the country’s regions. The answer distribution is presented as percentages of the number of participants along with data from previous surveys. The statistical error of these studies does not exceed 3.4%.
When respondents were asked to choose one answer, the sum of the percentages may deviate from 100% by ± 2% as a result of rounding errors.
