  • Public Opinion Survey of Residents of Ukraine
    Public Opinion Survey of Residents of Ukraine September 14 – October 10, 2017 Methodology National Sample • The survey was conducted by GfK Ukraine on behalf of the Center for Insights in Survey Research. • The survey was conducted throughout Ukraine (except for the occupied territories of Crimea and the Donbas) from September 14 to October 10, 2017 through face-to-face interviews at respondents’ homes. • The sample consisted of 2,400 permanent residents of Ukraine aged 18 and older and eligible to vote. It is representative of the general population by gender, age, region, and settlement size. An additional 4,800 respondents were also surveyed in the cities of Dnipro, Khmelnytskyi, Mariupol and Mykolaiv (i.e. 1,200 respondents in each city). A multi-stage probability sampling method was used with the random route and next birthday methods for respondent selection. • Stage One: The territory of Ukraine was split into 25 administrative regions (24 regions of Ukraine and Kyiv). The survey was conducted throughout all regions of Ukraine, with the exception of the occupied territories of Crimea and the Donbas. • Stage Two: The selection of settlements was based on towns and villages. Towns were grouped into subtypes according to their size: • Cities with a population of more than 1 million • Cities with a population of between 500,000-999,000 • Cities with a population of between 100,000-499,000 • Cities with a population of between 50,000-99,000 • Cities with a population up to 50,000 • Villages Cities and villages were selected at random. The number of selected cities/villages in each of the regions is proportional to the share of population living in cities/villages of a certain type in each region.

  • Volodymyr Zelensky: What Has Been Done in the Past Year? What’S Next?...1
    Nr 14 ROCZNIK INTEGRACJI EUROPEJSKIEJ 2020 ŁUKASZ DONAJ DOI : 10.14746/rie.2020.14.6 Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań ORCID: 0000-0002-7720-1260 Volodymyr Zelensky: What has Been Done in the Past Year? What’s Next?...1 Introduction Tadeusz Iwański, an analyst from the Center for Eastern Studies, has noted that the political situation in Ukraine after the Revolution of Dignity and the ensuing Russian aggression created a peculiar social context, in which the perception of traditional politicians has dramatically changed for the worse. After the revolution, the society has been eagerly expecting a thorough recovery of the state, combined with a new quality of governance and public empowerment. However, the 2014 presidential and parliamentary elections changed little in terms of the political elite, as the most im- portant state functions remained in the hands of politicians who first emerged in the 1990s, when the oligarchic system in Ukraine was being formed. The reforms intro- duced in the first two to three years after the revolution, mainly under pressure from Western creditors and the civil society, did not meet the society’s needs. Not only did they fail to improve the quality of life, but eventually led to the emigration of some 2 million Ukrainians, which placed an additional burden on the shoulders of the old and new elites. Initiated but never completed, the painful reforms have increased po- litical volatility and sapped public trust in the political class even further. A survey by Kyiv’s Razumkov Center showed that just before the presidential elections only 23 percent of respondents trusted the president.

  • Husak Olviia, Fiialka Svitlana SOCIAL MEDIA INFLUENCE on PUBLIC OPINION and YOUTH BEHAVIOR
    Husak Olviia, Fiialka Svitlana SOCIAL MEDIA INFLUENCE ON PUBLIC OPINION AND YOUTH BEHAVIOR Husak Olviia1 Fiialka Svitlana2 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.30525/978-9934-571-27-5_17 Abstract. Main objective. The article deals with the key factors of the virality of media content in social networks and technical university stu- dents’ media literacy in social networks. Methodology. We analyzed the concept of virality and generalized the reasons that affect the popularity of the information posted in social networks. The three main groups of viral- ity factors were singled out: content (its subject and form), the audience and the specific character of a social network. We have also analyzed the content of the three most popular Ukrainian media in Facebook: “Ukray- inska Pravda”, “Hromadske TV” and “TSN” to define the virality factors in modern Ukrainian conditions. The study was conducted in National Technical University of Ukraine “Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Insti- tute” (Kyiv, Ukraine). In addition quantitative analysis of 10 closed ended responses, qualitative analysis of 5 open ended responses and focus group discussion experts were done. The study population included students (n =1100) of the fourth course and 10 experts (professors in the fields of engineering (5 persons), pedagogics (2 persons) and social communi- cations (3 persons)). Results and conclusions. Due to the study results there are few most popular content topics (politics, war in eastern Ukraine and basic needs) that cause the virality of information. Given the speci- ficity of the algorithm for ranking posts in Facebook news line, we traced the reasons for the popularity of certain materials, which are caused by the situation in the country, emotions, induced by the publication, type of content and time of users’ activity in the social network.

  • Differences and Similarities in Attitudes Towards Intellectual and Visual Culture Within the Ukrainian-Canadian Community in Edmonton, Alberta.1
    Volume 3.1 / Fall 2016 Differences and Similarities in Attitudes towards Intellectual and Visual Culture within the Ukrainian-Canadian Community in Edmonton, Alberta.1 Susanna M. Lynn Abstract Ukrainian-Canadians are a relatively well-established group in Canada. This paper draws on data gathered from ten interviews about ethnic identity discourses which I conducted with new and established members of the Ukrainian-Canadian community in Edmonton, Alberta. Using critical discourse analysis, I investigate the responses to nine of the original thirty-seven interview questions, which included two ranking questions; these questions inquired about participants’ opinions and evaluations of [Ukrainian] literature, language, music and important “kinds” and aspects of culture. Responses exposed some of the similarities and differences in attitudes the two groups held towards intellectual and visual culture, highlighting the evolving nature of this community, and providing detail that enhances understanding of these attitudes. I present key arguments as to why these similarities and differences may, at least in part, correlate to the unique socio-cultural environments in which each group has been developing culture since Ukraine’s Independence. In particular, I posit that “the linguistic factor” (a term I use to summarize the interconnected influence that language, literature, and linguistic ability have on each other) is one of the most salient forces in shaping and informing these similarities and differences in attitudes towards intellectual and visual culture. 1 This research received support from the Shevchenko Scientific Society of Canada and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC). Introduction Ukrainian-Canadians have been a part of Canada’s foundation since the 1890s, and have been the focus of a respectable amount of literature, especially concerning their early history.
