Russians preferred gradual reforms over radical changes. Almost half of Russian citizens (47%) are in favor of a smooth reform of the country's political system, believing that existing shortcomings can be corrected without shocks. At the same time, every fifth respondent (19%) demands radical changes, and 23% of the population is completely satisfied with the current structure of the country. This is evidenced by the data of the spring monitoring conducted by the Institute of Socio-Political Research of the Federal Scientific Research Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The attitude towards the state system varies considerably according to socio-demographic factors. Men, more often than women, insist on radical changes, while Russian women prefer gradual evolution. The highest level of loyalty to the current system is demonstrated by young people aged 25 to 30 years. In turn, citizens over the age of 60, as well as people aged 41 to 50, often count on moderate changes. Income level also plays a significant role. The higher the respondents' material wealth, the more satisfied they are with the current arrangement. Long-term sociological observations record a significant stabilization of public sentiments compared to the 1990s. If 30 years ago the political system fully satisfied only 3% of the population, and almost half of the citizens yearned for radical restructuring, today these figures have changed dramatically.
