Abstract

Respondents and experts were asked to speak about socially significant events in their opinion that have taken place in the Russian Federation and the republics of the North Caucasus Federal District in recent years. The opinions of respondents and experts about political events in Ukraine and Crimea were often emotionally colored, however, economic problems were mentioned twice more often by the survey participants, from which it can be concluded that the residents of the North Caucasus are more concerned about events directly related to their material well-being : falling living standards, falling ruble exchange rate, consequences of sanctions, falling oil prices on the world market. Military actions of the Russian military corps in Syria were mentioned in isolated cases. The annexation of Crimea was perceived by respondents in every fifth case as a positive event, and actions in eastern Ukraine in every fourth case as negative. Despite excessive media coverage of the 2014 Sochi Olympics, respondents mentioned it as a positive event in 1.67% of cases, while experts stopped at it in 3%, evaluating this event as “unnecessary”, “an attempt to embellish the image of the head of state” , An opportunity to steal a lot of money. In total, positive events were mentioned by respondents in 23.4%, negative - in 38.1%, respondents found it difficult to answer in 39.0% of cases.
