Abstract
Survey research on Russians' views of social justice and a fair social order shows that the concept of justice remains a key factor in a Russian socio-cultural model. Fairness is linked above all with equal opportunities for everyone, as well as with income differentiation based on factors that are legitimate from the population's point of view.

These refer to representative all-Russian surveys by the Institute for Comprehensive Social Research, Russian Academy of Sciences, and the Institute of Sociology, Russian Academy of Sciences: “The Rich and the Poor in Today's Russia” (March 2003, n = 2,106); “The Low-Income Strata in Today's Russia: Who Are They? How Do They Live? What Do They Strive For?” (March 2008, n = 1,751); “Is Russian Society Ready for Modernization?” (March 2010, n = 1,750); “What Do the Inhabitants of Russia Dream Of?” (March 2012, n = 1,751); “Poverty and the Poor in Today's Russia” (April 2013, n = 1,600).
