- Abstract
- The article presents results of individual in-depth interviews with representatives of post-Soviet generation featuring modern and traditional behavioral attitudes. The main topic of conversation was the events of the Crimean crisis-2014. As research showed, most of the so-called “modernists” and “traditionalists” approved Crimea and Sevastopol's entry into the Russian Federation. However, this support is more symbolical than real: respondents are not ready to sacrifice their own material well-being and life fighting for the Russian world. Some “traditionalists” said they are not interested in politics, therefore they do not know enough about the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. Insignificant number of “modernists” condemned Crimea's accession arguing it will have dangerous consequences for Russia.
