#ENCUESTA DATUM SERIES#

On November 19-20, the Executive Committee of the World Values Survey Association held their annual meeting. Submissions using quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods and employing an interdisciplinary perspective are equally welcome. We encourage submissions approaching the topic from a holistic perspective, looking at the cultural space, not limited to the geographical one, inquiring to what extent the historical path contributed to the creation of a common cultural space and what is the contribution of economics, politics, and international relations to its development. This topic aims at studying the culture and identity in the Black Sea area, inquiring the existence of a common political identity relying on a similar cultural background. Black Sea has always been an area of vivid economic and cultural exchange, located at the intersection of different political systems and local cultures. WVSA invites paper submissions into the special issue of Frontiers in Sociology journal 'Social values and identities in the Black Sea area'. The conference welcomes presentations on any values domain, as well as methodological contributions. The call asks for a special emphasis on Italy: comparative and longitudinal contributions are encouraged. Presentations combining EVS, WVS and other data are also welcome. The conference aims to gather methodologically high-quality, theoretically based contributions using EVS and WVS data. Even if many ordinary Russians are badly misinformed, however, the early polls may still capture authentic attitudes reflecting a silent majority at home supporting Putin’s actions, and thus represent the social construction of reality in modern Russia. State propaganda and fake news about Ukraine “shooting its own citizens in the Donbas region” started back in 2014 and since then has been increasing in its pace and volume. Understanding Putin’s soft power can also provide insights into the long-term consequences of the conflict for his leadership and for the future of both countries. It is important to determine this issue morally, to assess culpability for the conflict, and legally, to prosecute potential war crimes. History will ultimately decide how much of the blame for initiating the bloodshed rests on Vladimir Putin alone, as well as his Kremlin acolytes, and how much responsibility rests with the tacit acceptance of ordinary Russians.

Overall, across the series of initial polls, a ‘silent majority’ – about 60% of Russian respondents – indicated that they endorsed the “special military operation” in Ukraine. Surveys conducted immediately before and after the outbreak of the Ukrainian invasion on 24 February report that the majority of ordinary Russians expressed support for the Ukrainian war and for President Putin. What do ordinary Russians really think about the war in Ukraine?
