#9Скачать19.02The Lead-up to the Murder: Navalny and protest politics in RussiaKirill RogovAlexei Navalny emerged as a central figure in opposition to Putin's authoritarianism, inspiring tens of thousands with the heroism of his fearlessness and fostering a new ethic of resistance. However, Navalny's political biography is not merely a derivative of his heroic persona. The phenomenon of Navalny is shaped by a confluence of expectations and aspirations that he embodied, becoming both a voluntary hostage and a symbol of them.
#8Скачать24.01The Dead Ends of War: How public opinion changed during the second year of the warElena Koneva, Vladimir Zvonovsky, Kirill Rogov, Alexander KhodykinSociological studies indicate that the core of real supporters of the war during its second year decreased, and the 'audibility' of the pro-war position in society decreased. This, however, did not lead to an increase in the share of visible opponents of the war. Rather, we can speak of a situation of a kind of deadlock in public opinion, caused by the fear of repression, the consciousness of the impossibility of influencing the course of events, and fears and anxiety about an impenetrable future.
#7Скачать09.01Reaping War: The Russian orthodox church and the Russian invasion of UkraineNikolai MitrokhinPublic perception identifies the position of the Russian Orthodox Church with the pro-war statements of Patriarch Kirill, but in reality the position of most of its clergy is determined by a compromise between loyalty to the Kremlin and commitment to the institutional interests of the church. It remains the largest public organisation in a number of post-Soviet countries, demonstrating a similar spectrum of attitudes towards the war as exists in society as a whole.
#6Скачать01.03.23THE PLUNGE INTO WAR: PUBLIC OPINION CHRONICLEDWhile at first glance it may seem as though there is a declarative ‘majority of support’ for the war, there is perhaps more significantly a ‘majority of non-resistance’, which allows the pro-war minority to dominate the public debate. For mainstream Russian society, the ‘plunge into war’ remains a coerced strategy, and the consolidation of revanchist sentiments among one segment of society coexists with the considerable potential for demobilisation within another. Re: Russia presents an overview of the results of public opinion polling conducted by the independent Chronicles project.
#4Скачать28.09.22An ideology without principlesAndrei Zorin, Ekaterina Schulmann, Alexander Panchenko, Gulnaz SharafutdinovaAuthoritarian regimes paid great attention to ideological construction in the twentieth century, but in the twenty-first century they have been characterised by ideological passivity. Despite this, Putin's war requires not only military but also political mobilisation. The war requires the construction of ideological narratives that can capture and consolidate the population. In our discussion series, Andrei Zorin, Ekaterina Schulmann, Alexander Panchenko, and Gulnaz Sharafutdinova consider whether the Russian regime has an ideology.
#3Скачать12.07.22The Conservation EffectSergey Aleksashenko, Kirill Rogov, Yulia Starostina, Oleg Vyugin, Oleg BuklemishevIn Russia, the dominant perception is that the impact of sanctions is negligible: in addition to the official optimism of officials and CEOs of large companies, a positive attitude is widespread among the population and a significant part of the business community. How do sanctions actually work and do not work, and why does a country's ability to resist them maximise its long-term losses?
#1Скачать02.06.22The Imposed Consensus: What do the polls say about support for the war and can they be believed?Mikhail Komin, Kirill RogovThe results of polls on Russians' attitudes towards war have sparked heated discussions: some see them as proof of Russia's imperial-militarist spirit, while others, on the contrary, declare them irrelevant in wartime conditions. Re: Russia has analysed all available data on the attitudes of the Russian population towards the war, the main arguments of the debate and the results of survey experiments.
