In June–July 2017, the Eurasian Development Bank Centre for Integration Studies, working in partnership with the International Research Agency Eurasian Monitor, completed the sixth wave of measurement of the public mood in the post-Soviet space, within the framework of the EDB Integration Barometer project. In 2017, as in previous years, the researchers focused on attitudes towards integration shown by citizens of EAEU member states. The project’s sixth wave included national polls in seven countries (both EAEU member states and other countries): Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Russia, and Tajikistan. The total number of respondents was 8,200 (at least 1,000 people from each country were included in representative national samples). The researchers examined public opinion changes as they apply to integration preferences (various facets of the appeal of integration in different countries), and reviewed the impact that a variety of socio-demographic and information factors had on those preferences.
