VTSIOM, Research organization in Moscow, Russia
VTSIOM is a research organization in Moscow that conducts surveys and analyzes social trends through a network of approximately 5000 interviewers across Russia. The organization maintains offices in all seven federal districts and publishes research findings on its website.
Tatiana Zaslavskaya founded the organization in 1987, marking the start of systematic public opinion research in post-Soviet Russia. It later became a joint-stock company in 2003 while remaining under full government ownership.
The organization's research projects examine Russian social values through regular surveys covering politics, education, healthcare, and social developments. These studies capture how people think about issues that shape their daily lives.
Visitors can access research data and analysis through the organization's website to review published reports and findings. Since the organization's work focuses primarily on data collection and online publishing, in-person visits to offices are not necessary for accessing information.
The organization uses a decentralized network of interviewers rather than traditional centralized research methods, allowing it to gather data quickly from diverse regions. This model enables real-time insights into public opinion across remote areas without delays.
