Foreword
Due to the large scale of the main sample in this survey (N=3,560), a meaningful analysis may be conducted which examines the 10 regions of the Russian Federation rather than the four combined zones that are commonly used. This provides a richer understanding of the political environment and will assist in targeting voter education efforts.
The 10 regions outlined on the map on this page are as follows:

The size of each region is based on its contribution to the total population of the Russian Federation. Each region is proportionate to the population by age. For the most part, the regions are also generally proportionate to the national figures for men and women. In the North Caucasus, however, 66% of the respondents are men and 34% women. Anna Andreenkova of CESSI attributes this to cultural practices in the region. That is, the North Caucasus is a heavily Muslim region with a traditionally male-dominated society. One other region, East Siberia, also has a majority male sample (54%) with 46% female.
