On March 20, 2021, at the age of 92, a well-known American sociologist, former president of the American Sociological Association, honorary professor of the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy and our (mine and Valerii Khmelko) great friend Melvin Lester Cohn passed away. Very, very sad.

The first three gifts that women expect - flowers (18%), care and attention (16%), romantic trip (13%). Next in terms of women's expectations are jewelry (5%), romantic dinner (4%) and perfumes or cosmetics (4%). As we can see, the old slogan "book - the best gift" has lost its relevance, the book is one of the last places in the entire period of measurement (since 2009).

People around the world are still mobilized against the threat, hoping for vaccines. However, the potential problems are becoming more significant.  

Assessments of government action in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic are still quite high, but they are gradually declining. Compared to last spring, the threat of the disease is also considered significant, but today people in most countries find it somewhat exaggerated. Travel restrictions are widely recognized as a means of combating a pandemic. Human rights sacrifices are also present, but not without criticism. Attitudes towards vaccines are very positive, although the shadow of doubt remains significant and even dominates in a number of countries.
