According to surveys conducted by the Kyiv international Institute of sociology, in December of 2014 in comparison with the beginning of the year the level of readiness to participate in the protest movements hasn’t changed significantly: 42.2% of the adult population of Ukraine are ready to participate in the protest movements in February 2014, in December the share of such people was 43.3%.

Questions about the attitude of the Ukrainian population to the results of opinion polls asked in 2002, 2004, 2009, 2012 and 2013. The December 2014 survey showed that the level of distrust in public opinion research decreased and balance of trust and distrust increased.

This survey was intended, in part, to estimate the number of victims of Nazism who are currently living in Ukraine. If we define the victims of Nazism in the narrow sense (ostarbeiters, Holocaust victims, prisoners at concentration camps or ghettos and prisoners of war), than the number of victims in Ukraine would be about 200 thousand people. If we consider all the elderly who suffered from National Socialism injustice at the time of Second World War, their number would be about 8.5% – 10.0% of people older than 70 years or 430 – 500 thousand people.
