Московское протестное движение 2015–2016 гг.: социологическое исследование
The purpose of the study was to analyze the Moscow protest movement in 2015-2016. During the study 886 respondents were interviewed at four demonstrations: Boris Nemtsov's memory on March 1, 2015 (250 respondents); "In Defense of Science and Education" on June 6, 2015 (284 respondents); "For the change of power" on September 20, 2015 (195 respondents); in the memory of Boris Nemtsov on February 27, 2016 (157 respondents). Based on the data obtained, we can assume that the Moscow protesters are a formed group with stable and reproducible behaviour. They share similar political views on a number of issues, formed by group self-awareness. Notwithstanding, this study was mostly a first step research, and therefore its main conclusions need a further empirical verification.
