Lecture Ekaterina Schulmannn:

The State of Mind: Transformations of public opinion in Russia 2018-2023.

Moderation Dr. Arndt Michael

Using a range of sociological data collected by official and independent polling agencies as well as circumstantial evidence and indirect markers of behavioral changes, including demographic data and crime statistics, the lecture will attempt to trace an evolution of public opinion in Russia from 2018 (the final erosion of the Crimean consensus) to 2023, one year into the full-scale war. Inglehart–Welzel World Values Survey results and studies of proto-party groups ("political preference clouds'') are used in this overview in an attempt to sketch possible lines of behavior of a post-authoritarian society in a weakened state of power.
