The participants of the sociological study of corruption are citizens over the age of 18 who have been living in the Republic of Tatarstan for more than 2 years. The sociological research is carried out by the method of an individual formalized face-to-face interview. The survey is conducted anonymously.

Most of the respondents are confident in the possibility of reducing corruption through the use of anti-corruption measures.

Among the proposed measures to reduce corruption in society, every second respondent pointed to the need to "tighten anti-corruption legislation" (53.5%) and "strictly control the allocation and expenditure of budget funds" (50.2%).

Following the briefing, the Deputy minister noted that "Opinion polls are a tool for feedback from the public, allowing us to get a "response" to the anti-corruption measures taken. The positive dynamics over a number of years according to the indicators of the sociological survey indicates the effectiveness of the state anti-corruption policy implemented in the Republic of Tatarstan."
