Abstract
The article analyzes the attitude of Russian citizens to the institution of private property. The author estimates the level of confidence and respect of people to this institution, perception of their property right protection and risks connected with property management. The empiric base of the research was formed by findings of the sociological survey conducted in 2023 among 542 respondents of different age groups. The data provided an opportunity to identify common features in perceiving the institution of private property by Russian citizens, their expectation concerning this institution in the long run. The research findings refuted a number of stereotypes formed in society concerning perception of private property by people, who demonstrated rather high level of confidence to the institution of private property and its inviolability. At the same time the majority of respondents today follow the saving model aimed at long-term accumulation and increasing their assets to ensure sustainable standard of life in the future.
