Vladimir Putin's rating, according to the All-Russian Center for the Study of Public Opinion, is 71%, and its closest competitor remains a candidate of the Communist Party of the Communist Party of Paval Bescard (7.3%). Already 93% of Russians know when elections will be held. Interest in them sociologists were tied up with the advent of the "unexpected candidate" Ksenia Sobchak, for which 1.3% is ready to vote. Her announcement of the intention to run out became an unofficial start of the campaign, consider in the WTCOM. From this point on, "there was hope that something will change now," the political studio believes.

According to the WTPIOM, 93% of respondents know that on March 18, the presidential election will be held. A year ago, only 16% exactly called the month when elections will be held. Valery Fedorov's general director, Valery Fedorov connected the pre-election activity of the population with the nomination of Ksenia Sobchak (it was put forward by the "Civil Initiative" party). Now she has the highest antwootheus: for it, under no circumstances will vote 88% of respondents. About the intention to give Ksenia Sobchak voice reported 1.3% of respondents (the study was conducted on February 9-11).

Valery Fedorov believes that "the electorate of this candidate faces collective pressure, disapproval": "In the election it is worth expecting the best result than surveys show now." According to the head of the WTCOM, from the statement by Ksenia Sobchak about the intention of running on October 18, the presidential race was informally started. The decision of the Council of the Federation's declaration was made on December 15, and published on December 18th. Polittechnologist Sergey Polyakov told "Kommersant" that "the hype around Sobchak was predictable": "For a dozen years old, some results, alone. And with the advent of Sobchak in people, on the one hand, there was hope that now something will change, and on the other - thanks to her scandalous reputation, people just began to enjoy the circus show. " Ms. Sobchak first of candidates appealed in Supreme Court Registration of your opponent - Vladimir Putin. She refers to the fact that he has already held the position of presidents allowed by the Constitution "Two terms in a row" and should not be advanced again.

The interest in the election was rooted and the CPRF candidate Non-partisan Paul Brasnin: about the decision to put forward his party announced only in December. For him are now ready to vote 7.3% of the allocated by the Worthy. This is significantly less than the Rating of the Communist Party of the Communist Party (9.6%). Valery Fedorov said that the electorate of Mr. Beastinina only consists half of the Communist Party of the Communist Party: "Many communists consider a candidate not a new part of the party, but a temporary fellow traveler." According to the sociologist, "the chances of shaking mustache have a soast so much more than to leave them." Earlier in an interview with journalist Yuri Dudu, the CPRF candidate promised to shave the mustache if he picks up less than 15% of the vote in the elections. The rating of Vladimir Zhirinovsky (5.5%) is also less than the rating of the LDPR (8.7%). The rating of Vladimir Putin (71%) is considered sustainable in the WTVIOM (71%), allowing its oscillation by only 2-3%.

According to the WTPIOM, only 19% of the Russian respondents expect falsifications in elections and are confident in the "dishonesty" of their results. 34% do not doubt the transparency of the elections, and 46% believe that "minor violations are possible", but they will not have a significant impact on a general result. " "I don't know where such a number of people who believe the election came from, - said" Kommersant "secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Elections Sergey Obukhov. - Most likely, this figure was formed because of Putin's rating, since only Putin electorate can call the election transparent" .

History

Birth. The first institution of exploring public opinion in Russia. 1987

The decision on the creation of the WTCIOM (then the "All-Union") was accepted at the July 1987 Central Committee of the CPSU. The founders were the USSPS and the USSR State Committee. The first leader of the center was Tatyana Zaslavskaya, Academician. Her deputy is Boris Peyshin. According to Zaslavskaya, the sample when creating a center for her was the Institute of Demoscopy in Germany, headed by E. Noel-Neuman. In - years, thanks to the organizational efforts, the Grushina was deployed by a network of sociological centers in the republics of the USSR and regions of Russia. This allowed in November 1988 to conduct the first mass surveys on the representative samples of the adult population of the country, in the year of the study were already on a systematic basis. In August 1989, Boris Peyshin left the WTCIOM and organized his own organization to study the public opinion "Personal People" ,.

"First among the new". 1992-2003

Appearing at the dawn of restructuring, VTsiom, according to Alexei Levinson:

"He played the role of the Motherland, from which the families emerged, new agencies for the study of public opinion and market were separated."

Conflict. 2003

From the very foundation of the WTCIOM was a state sociological company. Thus, in 1987, the founders of the Center were the Central Bank of the USSR, then the Center was re-registered as a federal state unitary enterprise (FSUE), and in August, the decision of the Ministry of Property Relations of FSUE WTCIOM was transformed into the All-Russian Public Opinion Center OJSC " As before, a state remained 100% by the owner of the organization. The Company's Board of Directors, consisting of representatives of the shareholder - state, decided to change the head of the Center (Yuri Levada), who headed the company in 1992-2003. A young political scientist Valery Fedorov was appointed to his place. Claims to Levade, according to a new leader, were: "stagnation in the scientific sphere" and the fact that it was "undeservedly forgotten" studies of the "social situation in the country, problems of poverty, unemployment, employment, labor market, emigration". One of the main tasks of Valery Fedorova as director, according to his own words, was the preservation of the research team VTsIOM:

"He [Levada] wants to imagine his own removal as the destruction of the leading sociological center of Russia. I assure that such destruction will not happen. Unfortunately, Yuri Alexandrovich is trying to present his dismissal as a massive outcome from the WTCOM. We, of course, do not let me ".

VTsiom today. 2003-2009

The VTI continued research programs developed by the previous team, and retained the right to publish the magazine "Monitoring of public opinion: economic and social changes" (the former editorial team has continued to work in the newly created Journal of Public Opinion).

The priority sphere of the study of the WTCIOM today is the political mood of the population, attitude to the authorities of all levels, their decisions, initiatives and programs. In addition to the authorities, the VTsIOM continues to conduct research on the orders of the largest Russian commercial companies and public associations. New areas of research appeared, in particular the company began to pay more attention to the social situation in the country, as well as marketing and international research research.

So since 2003, the VTsIOM holds weekly constructions of social well-being indexes. The empirical base for calculating indexes underlying dynamic series is the data of weekly express surveys conducted by the WTCIOM in the Retamentative All-Russian sample (taking into account the captors on the floor, age, education and territorial zoning of the State Statistics Committee) in 42 regions, the edges and republics of Russia in 140 settlements (number of respondents 1600 people).

Since 2003, research and in post-Soviet space has become more important. In 2003, the company became one of the founders of the Eurasian Monitor Research Agency and by 2009 conducts regular surveys of the population in 14 states of the former USSR (in collaboration with colleagues - leading sociological companies of these states.

New regular projects appeared: the state of the business climate in Russia, the Freedom Independence of the Word, the assessment of the highest professional education in Russia, assessing the activities of courts in the Russian Federation, etc.

The new, more applied and pragmatic focusing of research programs by the VTsIOM also expressed in the change of the Devision of the Center: instead of the former "from the opinion - to understanding" they became: "To know - to wink!"

Criticism

The company sometimes the accusations of those who are the object of its research sound. Thus, the leader of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, Gennady Zyuganov critically responds about the objectivity and correctness of the research of the Center: "I believe that this is an unfair study," said the Chairman of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Russian Central Committee of the Russian Central Committee I. Lenin (according to this study, Russians speak out for the reburial of Lenin's body in the cemetery).

WDI is also accused of "special" relations with the Kremlin. The most famous scandal of this kind is associated with the publication in the magazine "The New Times" in the fall of 2007 series of materials on the corruption of the VTsIOM and manipulations used in the research of the Center in the please of the Presidential Administration of the Russian Federation. WDI appealed to the court to the magazine "The New Times", and after a ten-month consideration in September 2008, the court declared "inappropriate reality" published information that the Center has "special commercial relations" with the Kremlin, and ordered a magazine to publish a refutation, And a journalist, writing articles, the court ordered to pay a small penalty.

However, as regards the accusations that "during surveys, sociologists [from the WTCIOM] use the so-called formative questions on the task of various parties, that is, the questions that suggest certainly certain answers", the court refused to satisfy the claims of WTCIOM. The court decided: "The applicant's argument that surveys conducted by the WTW did not have a formative nature, unfaithful." "The press release of the WTCIOM No. 771 of September 18, 2007, to which there is a link to lawsuage, testifies to the opposite, "says in the ruling of the Moscow Arbitration Court. The court decision in this regard was challenged by the applicant, and the investigation on the case continues.

History

Birth. The first institution of exploring public opinion in Russia. 1987

The decision on the creation of the WTCIOM (then the "All-Union") was accepted at the July 1987 Central Committee of the CPSU. The founders were the USSPS and the USSR State Committee. The first leader of the center was Tatyana Zaslavskaya, Academician. Her deputy is Boris Peyshin. According to Zaslavskaya, the sample when creating a center for her was the Institute of Demoscopy in Germany, headed by E. Noel-Neuman. In -1988, thanks to the organizational efforts, the Grushina was deployed by a network of sociological centers in the republics of the USSR and regions of Russia. This allowed in November 1988 to conduct the first mass surveys on the representative samples of the adult population of the country, in the year of the study were already on a systematic basis. In August 1989, Boris Peyshin left the WTCIOM and organized his own organization to study the public opinion "Personal People" ,.

At the same time, the rearrangement of the WTCIOM appeared at the dawn, according to the exact definition of Alexei Levinson, "Played the role of Mother's Roy, from which families emerged, new agencies for the study of public opinion and market were separated." Thus, in August 1989, Boris Peyshin left the VTsiom and organized his own organization to study the public opinion "Glas of the People" in 1991, one of the leading team was founded on the basis of the team marketing services modern Russia - Company KOMKON. In 1992, Fom was separated from VTsioma, initially created as a division of the Center to attract funds of charitable organizations, and in 2003 he was created by VTsioma, subsequently renamed Levada Center.

2003. Conflict

From the very foundation of the WTCIOM was a state sociological company. Thus, in 1987, the founders of the Center were the Central Bank of the USSR, then the Center was re-registered as a federal state unitary enterprise (FSUE), and in August 2003, the decision of the Ministry of Property Relations of FSUE WTCIOM was transformed into the All-Russian Public Study Center OJSC Opinions. " As before, a state remained 100% by the owner of the organization. The Company's Board of Directors, consisting of representatives of the shareholder - state, decided to change the head of the Center (Yuri Levada), who headed the company in 1992-2003. A young political scientist Valery Fedorov was appointed to his place. Claims to Levade, according to the new leader, were: "stagnation in the scientific sphere" and the fact that it was "undeservedly forgotten" studies of "social situation in the country, problems of poverty, unemployment, employment, labor market, emigration". One of the main tasks of Valery Fedorova as director, according to his own words, was the preservation of the research team VTsIOM:

"He [Levada] wants to imagine his own removal as the destruction of the leading sociological center of Russia. I assure that such destruction will not happen. Unfortunately, Yuri Alexandrovich is trying to submit his dismissal as a massive outcome from the WTCOM. We, of course, do not let me " .

Further history (2003-N.V.)

VTsiom continued to conduct research programs started by the previous team, and publish the magazine "Monitoring of public opinion: economic and social changes" (the previous editorial team has continued to work in the newly created Journal of Public Opinion).

So since 2003, the VTsIOM holds weekly constructions of social well-being indexes. The empirical base for calculating the indexes underlying dynamic series is the data of weekly express surveys conducted by the VTsioms on the Retamentative All-Russian sample (taking into account the semi, age, the age, education and territorial zoning of the State Statistics Committee) in 42 regions, the edges and republics of Russia in 140 settlements (number of respondents 1600 people).

Since 2003, research has been larger and in the post-Soviet space. In 2003, the company became one of the founders of the Eurasian Monitor Research Agency and by 2009 holds regular surveys of the population in 14 states of the former USSR.

In July 2016, VTsiom agreed with the British WPP holding on the purchase of TNS Russia, which is engaged in the measurement of television audience in Russia to calculate the cost of advertising. The start of the sales conversations was given by the end of June 2016, after the State Duma is adopted by foreign companies to deal with telechanges in Russia, if the proportion foreign participation more than 20%.

Criticism

The company sometimes the accusations of those who are the object of its research sound. Thus, the leader of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, Gennady Zyuganov critically responds about the objectivity and correctness of the research of the Center: "I believe that this is an unfair study," said the Chairman of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Russian Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Russian Central Committee I. Lenin (according to this study, Russians are expressed for the reburial of Lenin's body in the cemetery).

The VTI often carries out calls to the home telephones of citizens without their prior consent, and the calls can even at the later time of day, and on weekends and holidays.

Court between "The New Times" and VTsIOM

WDI is also accused of "special" relations with the Kremlin. For example, Natalia Morar, one of the authors of the magazine "The New Times" in the fall of 2007 published a series of materials on the corruption of the VTsIOM and manipulations used in the Center's studies in favor of the Presidential Administration of the Russian Federation. In December 2007, it became known that Natalia Morar was forbidden to enter the territory of Russia. Also, the WTW appealed to the court to the journal "The New Times", and after a ten-month consideration in September 2008, the Moscow Arbitration Court recognized the published information that the Center had "special commercial relationships" with the Kremlin, and ordered a magazine Publish the refutation and pay a fine of 10,000 rubles, and the journalist, writing the article, the court ordered a fine of 100 rubles.

However, as regards the accusations that "when conducting surveys, sociologists from the WTCIOM on the task of various parties use the so-called formative issues, that is, questions that suggest certainly certain answers", the court refused to satisfy the claims of WTCIOM. The court decided: "The applicant's argument that surveys conducted by the WTIOM did not have a formative nature, unfounded," and "The press release of the WTCIOM No. 771 of September 18, 2007, to which there is a reference in the claim, testifies to the opposite," the ruling says Moscow Arbitration Court. The court decision in this regard was challenged by the applicant, and the investigation on the case continues.

However, in August 2013, the director Valery Fedorov noted that the Kremlin and the United Russia party, the main customer, and that the results of surveys conducted by their orders can be published only after the customer's permission.
