About half of Russians look at their own future and the future of Russia with calmness and confidence, but positive assessments have been decreasing slightly in the last two years. Almost half of the respondents have no plans for the future. About the same number say they don’t know what will happen to them even in the coming months. Approximately one in five respondents plans their lives for 5-6 years or more ahead. They have more positive assessments of the future, and they also plan their lives for a longer period of time, most often young people who are more affluent and loyal to government policies.
Month: November 2025
Institutional Trust: September 2025

As before, Russians most often talk about trusting the president, the army, the security services, the government, and the church. The respondents are least likely to talk about trust in political parties, trade unions, and large Russian businesses.
