"Our country is now the main defender of traditional values in the world. And the most important traditional value - for people, for the population of Russia - is family. It is especially important that despite the aggressive attempts by the West to impose on us the norms that are alien to us, the majority of young people surveyed, even though they might seem to be more susceptible to influence due to their age, define building a strong family as their main aspiration in life. That’s despite all the other response choices they were offered: wealth, money, success, recognition, harmony. This shows that we are moving in the right direction: We are protecting our children, our future," said Maxim Dreval, general director of the Knowledge group.
About 72% of Russians set time-sensitive goals for themselves, say results of a poll from the Russian Public Opinion Research Center (VCIOM) published on the organization’s website. "In the June VCIOM poll, seven in ten Russians said that they plan their lives (72%), including 24% who limit themselves to a short-term planning horizon - for the next week (10%) or month ahead (14%). About the same number, 26%, build medium-term plans - for a year ahead. Long-term planning (five and ten years ahead) is common for 12% and 10% respectively. Only 25%, or every fourth person, do not make plans for life at all," the report says. The survey revealed that 85% of the young population (18-35 years old) make plans for life (against 66% among the "others"), while 13% of Russians make no plans at all. This is half as much compared to Russians over 36 years old (29%).
