Lytkina K.A. Comprehensive analysis of electoral culture of the population of Moscow: the results of empirical research

Abstract: The subject of this research is the electoral culture of the population of Moscow. The author presents a detailed analysis of the results of empirical research of the electoral culture of the population of Moscow that was conducted in November of 2014 within the three districts of the city. The survey consisted of two parts: examination of the electoral culture itself, and the system of values of the residents of the districts-participants of the research. The article highlights the empirical aspect, but also the attention is given to theoretical grounds of this research. The author introduces the original interpretation of the notion of “electoral culture”, and suggests using a three-component structure of the electoral culture suitable for solutions of applied tasks. The number of the final expanded selection of the research consisted of 720 participants. Each district used the corresponding data of the Federal State Statistics Service on the parent population based on the results of the Russian census of 2010. In the course of this work, the author substantiates the new feature of the electoral culture – modality; it reflects the support of a certain group for the candidates with the certain political views or ideology. The author also thoroughly describes the five types of electoral culture, and presents data on the number of representatives of each type of the electoral culture within the structure of population of the districts of Moscow of different modality.
