Story

Birth. The first public opinion research institute in Russia. 1987

The decision to create VTsIOM (then "All-Union") was adopted at the July 1987 meeting of the Central Committee of the CPSU. The founders were the All-Union Central Council of Trade Unions and the State Committee for Labor of the USSR. The first head of the center was Tatyana Zaslavskaya, an academician. Her deputy is Boris Grushin. According to Zaslavskaya, the model for creating the center for her was the Institute of Demoscopy in Germany, headed by E. Noel-Neumann. In - years, thanks to the organizational efforts of Grushin, a network of sociological centers was deployed in the republics of the USSR and regions of Russia. This made it possible in November 1988 to conduct the first mass surveys on representative samples of the adult population of the country, and a year later the surveys were conducted on a systematic basis. In August 1989, Boris Grushin left VTsIOM and organized his own organization for the study of public opinion, Voice of the People,.

"The first of the new." 1992-2003

Appearing at the dawn of perestroika, VTsIOM, according to Alexei Levinson:

"played the role of a mother swarm, from which the emerging families, new agencies for the study of public opinion and the market, separated."

Conflict. 2003

From the very beginning, VTsIOM has been a state-owned sociological company. So, in 1987 the founders of the Center were the All-Russian Central Council of Trade Unions and the State Committee for Labor of the USSR, then (in 1998) the Center was re-registered as a federal state unitary enterprise (FSUE), and in August, by the decision of the Ministry of Property Relations, the FSUE VTsIOM was transformed into the All-Russian Center for Public Opinion Research ". As before, the state remained 100% owner of the organization. The board of directors of the company, consisting of representatives of the shareholder - the state, decided to change the head of the Center (Yury Levada), who headed the company in 1992-2003. A young political scientist, Valery Fedorov, was appointed in his place. Claims against Levada, according to the new leader, were: "stagnation in the scientific field" and the fact that under him were "undeservedly forgotten" studies of "the social situation in the country, the problems of poverty, unemployment, employment, the labor market, emigration." One of the main tasks of Valery Fedorov as director, in his own words, was the preservation of the VTsIOM research team:

“He [Levada] wants to present his own dismissal as the destruction of the leading sociological center of Russia. I assure you that such destruction will not happen. Unfortunately, Yuri Alexandrovich is trying to present his dismissal as a mass exodus from VTsIOM. Of course, we won't allow that.".

VTsIOM today. 2003-2009

VTsIOM continued the research programs developed by the former team and retained the right to publish the journal Public Opinion Monitoring: Economic and Social Changes (since 2003, the former editorial team continued to work in the newly created journal Public Opinion Bulletin).

The priority area of ​​VTsIOM's research today is the political mood of the population, attitudes towards authorities at all levels, their decisions, initiatives and programs. In addition to the authorities, VTsIOM continues to conduct research commissioned by the largest Russian commercial companies and public associations. New areas of research have also appeared, in particular, the company began to pay more attention to the social situation in the country, as well as marketing and international research.

Thus, since 2003, VTsIOM has been conducting weekly constructions of social well-being indices. The empirical basis for calculating the indices underlying the time series is the data of weekly Express Polls conducted by VTsIOM on a representative all-Russian sample (taking into account quotas by sex, age, education and territorial division of the State Statistics Committee) in 42 regions, territories and republics of Russia in 140 settlements (number of respondents 1600 people).

Since 2003, research in the post-Soviet space has also become more important. In 2003, the company became one of the founders of the research agency "Eurasian Monitor" and by 2009 conducts regular surveys of the population in 14 states of the former USSR (in cooperation with colleagues - leading sociological companies in these states.

New regular projects have appeared: The state of the business climate in Russia, the Freedom of Speech Index, the Assessment of Higher Professional Education in Russia, the Assessment of the Courts in the Russian Federation, etc.

The new, more applied and pragmatic focus of VTsIOM research programs was also expressed in the change of the Center's motto: instead of the former "From opinion - to understanding", it became: "To know is to win!"

Criticism

The company is sometimes accused by those who are the object of its research. Thus, the leader of the Communist Party, Gennady Zyuganov, criticizes the objectivity and correctness of the research of the Center: "I believe that this is an unscrupulous research," said the Chairman of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation G.A. I. Lenin (according to this study, Russians are in favor of reburial of Lenin's body in the cemetery).

VTsIOM is also accused of "special" relations with the Kremlin. The most famous scandal of this kind is associated with the publication in The New Times magazine in the fall of 2007 of a series of materials about the corruption of VTsIOM and the manipulations used in the center's research to please the Administration of the President of the Russian Federation. VTsIOM filed a lawsuit against The New Times magazine, and after a ten-month review in September 2008, the court found the published information that the center had a "special commercial relationship" with the Kremlin "untrue" and ordered the magazine to publish a refutation. and the journalist who wrote the articles was ordered by the court to pay a small fine.

However, as regards the allegations that “when conducting polls, sociologists [from VTsIOM] on behalf of various parties use so-called formative questions, that is, questions that lead to strictly defined answers,” the court refused to satisfy VTsIOM's claims. The court decided: "The applicant's argument that the surveys conducted by VTsIOM were not of a formative nature is unfounded." “The VTsIOM press release No. 771 dated September 18, 2007, to which there is a link in the statement of claim, testifies to the contrary,” the decision of the Moscow Arbitration Court says. The judgment in this connection has been contested by the applicant and the investigation is ongoing.

FOM

The Public Opinion Foundation was established as an independent public organization in 1991. At first, the fund worked under the All-Russian Public Opinion Research Center, and from mid-1992 it became completely independent. In 1996, the FOM acted as the basic sociological organization of B.N. Yeltsin. Since then, the main customer and consumer of the Foundation's research results has been the Administration of the President of the Russian Federation. The results of public opinion polls are a kind of feedback between the country's leadership and the population. The Fund played a similar role in the campaign headquarters of V.V. Putin in 1999-2000 and in 2004. In addition, the Foundation conducted extensive political science research for most of the election campaigns in modern Russia. Among them are the parliamentary campaigns of 1995, 1999, 2003; presidential 1996, 2000, 2004, as well as a series of election campaigns in 1996, 2000, 2004 in the regions of Russia.

Levada Center

The Yuri Levada Analytical Center (Levada Center) is a non-governmental research organization. The Center regularly conducts its own and commissioned sociological and marketing research, being one of the largest Russian organizations in its field. The staff of the Levada Center began to take shape in 1987 as part of the All-Union Center for the Study of Public Opinion (VTsIOM). In 2003, the leadership of the Center changed. The research team, who disagreed with the changes made, left the organization in its entirety, creating the Analytical Service of VTsIOM (VTsIOM-A). However, by decision of the court, the name was changed. Today, the organization continues to work under the name "Yuri Levada Analytical Center" (Levada-Center) in honor of the Russian sociologist Yuri Levada (1930-2006).

The Levada Center has its own interview network of 67 regional offices and maintains partnerships with public opinion research centers in the CIS and Baltic countries. The research results of the center are used by the media both in Russia and abroad.
