Summary View help for Summary
These data explore the knowledge of adult Russians, residing west of the Ural mountains, about a set of events that occurred during the six decades between the Great Purge (1930s) and the beginning of glasnost (1980s). Through face-to-face interviews, respondents were asked about 11 concepts/events from the Soviet period in terms of whether they had heard of the events and, if so, what they referred to. The concepts/events included Yezhovshchina, the Doctors' Plot, the Virgin Lands Campaign, the Twentieth Congress of the CPSU, Laika, the Caribbean Crisis/Cuban Missile Crisis, "One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovic", Prague Spring, Katya Lycheva, "Repentance", and "Little Vera". Background information on respondents includes age, sex, education, nationality/ethnicity, languages spoken, household income, region of residence, and political party affiliation.
