The poll is a project of the Levada Center, which surveyed 1,614 respondents from 50 Russian regions from Feb. 20-26 to examine societal attitudes towards individuals or groups whose behavior or lifestyle deviates from social norms.

The questions in the survey were based on a set of questions from a 1989 sociological study on the “Soviet common man,” which captured attitudes among citizens of the Soviet Union in the final years of its existence.
