On the Distinctive Features of Political Consciousness in the Post-Perestroika Period

Abstract

The object of this investigation is the political consciousness of the population in mid-1992. We have attempted to determine attitudes to basic sociopolitical values under conditions of a deepening systemic crisis, as well as to ascertain the level of support for the most influential political forces during the period of the investigation. We should stipulate from the outset that the ethnonational components of ideological conceptions remained outside the framework of the study.
