Abstract

The article presents the results of monitoring the social feeling of Krasnoyarsk residents. Here we show the unique situation of the year 2014 when, despite growing social tension and anxiety, the level of protest activity started to decrease. We consider the conditions for such social phenomenon and identify the sources of increasing trust in major political and social institutions. We characterize the opportunities for cooperation between the population and authorities. The level of conformist attitudes has risen dramatically. The article points out that this «socialpeace» will not last long; the population will adopt other social relations unless there are new strategies for regional development.
