ПОВСЕДНЕВНАЯ ЖИЗНЬ МОЛОДЕЖИ ИЗ ПОСТСОВЕТСКИХ ГОСУДАРСТВ В МОСКВЕ В УСЛОВИЯХ ПАНДЕМИИ COVID-19

Abstract

The article reveals the change in the behavior of young people from post-Soviet states in Moscow under the influence of the social and economic impact on the everyday life of the coronavirus, it is substantiated that the improvement in the quality of their daily life is due to how successfully the Governments of their countries and the EAEU as a whole will interact in the context of the COVID 19 pandemic. We conducted a questionnaire survey of young citizens belonging to the representatives of the "millennials" and "post-millennials" generation (18-38 years old), the EAEU member states and candidates for joining the EAEU (Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Moldova, Tajikistan), living, studying or working in Moscow. In April-June 2020, 3,065 people were interviewed (Armenia-417 people, Belarus-463 people, Kazakhstan-406 people, Kyrgyzstan — 399 people, Moldova — 405 people, Russia — 588 people, Tajikistan — 387 people). Only from 21 to 32% of respondents from different countries noted that nothing has changed in their lives. The survey showed that the new situation causes a feeling of fear. The understanding that a person himself cannot eliminate the negative impact of the pandemic leads to the fact that about a fifth of the respondents feel anxiety and irritation, 6.5% — fear, despair and hopelessness. It should be noted that after all, 4 out of 10 respondents maintain a good, optimistic (23.7%) and normal, even (44.0%) mood. The EAEU countries intend to continue working towards a joint response to the threat of coronavirus infection. It should be borne in mind that the nature of such interaction will have certain limits associated with the current level of integration. However, the States of the region are aware that the coronavirus crisis and the "Great Quarantine" may turn out to be a historical fork in the opportunities for the real sector of the economy of the Union member states and requires strengthening unity.
