The purpose of this study was to assess the ways in which recent economic and social changes in Russia, specifically those since the collapse of the Soviet system, have affected the social stratification of Russian society, the composition and nature of the Russian labor market, and Russian public opinion regarding the state of the Russian economy. The survey covered the population of the Russian Federation 16 years of age and older, excluding residents of four Caucasus republics and eight inaccessible regions of the Russian far north. Respondents were asked to complete a self-administered written questionnaire in the presence of an interviewer, with a portion of the survey administered directly by the interviewer. The main aim of the project was to gather information on respondents' social origins (including past affiliation with the Communist Party of the Soviet Union), income and standard of living, activity or work history since 1990, and current attitudes toward the economy and market reforms. Specifically, respondents were asked about both their current and 1990 occupations and sources of income (and changes within that period), and their assessments of the current economic situation for their family, city, region, and Russia as a whole. They were also queried about personal experiences with wage delays and compulsory unpaid leave, and whether they thought current and planned market reforms would eventually improve their lives. Demographic information on respondents includes age, sex, marital status, household size, education, parental background, income, and current employment status.Cf: http://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR02732.v1
