These are the findings of a study conducted by the HSE Institute for Social Policy. According to the researchers eating out is no longer a marker of high social status in Russia.

Solovyov K., Электронный научно-образовательный журнал "История" 2026 Т. 17 № 2 Статья 17

Так или иначе, в условиях неустойчивости правил игры, рыхлости фракционных структур председатель обретал широкий круг полномочий, что делало его весьма влиятельной фигурой в ...
