Russians do not believe they can protect their consumer rights. They also put no faith in the government and distrust both retailers and producers.

More than 40% of Russian citizens consider changing their place of residence due to environmental problems.

The research was conducted by the Centre in December 2017. 2018 has been proclaimed the Year of the Volunteer by the President of the Russian Federation.
