Research reveals that the level of support for economic reform in Russia is steadily decreasing and the number of people who want to return to pre-perestroika conditions is increasing yet, despite these conditions, individual work motivation is high. Results are based on data collected in Odessa and Odessa Oblast, Russia, from 1991-1996; topics included are the population's attitudes towards Russia's transition to a market economy, attitudes towards entrepreneurship, assessment of one's personal status and that of others, monthly income, and attitudes towards the prospect of improvements.
