Research
The Chronicles research project explores how Russians perceive the war in Ukraine. We regularly conduct polls and focus groups to understand how people's opinions and sentiments change over time. Our goal is to provide an objective and multifaceted picture of public opinion, going beyond simplistic numbers and propaganda clichés.
We use both quantitative (surveys) and qualitative (focus groups) research methods to gain an in-depth understanding of the situation. Tracking the dynamics of public opinion allows us to identify trends, assess the impact of events and make predictions. All our data is open and available for further research by anyone to ensure the transparency of our research.
