The Foundation for Public Opinion has interviewed 1500 people in 100 cities, towns, and villages in 44 regions of Russia. Only 2% are content with their housing. 58% prefer to live in a single-family house; 39% would rather live in an apartment. 28% of people want a brick house; 29%, a wooden one; and only 1%, a house of concrete. In the minds of Russians the ideal home is a 1-2-storey, 4-bedroom house for a small family (parents + children), made from bricks or wood and located in an ecologically clean, quiet, and green site. And the ideal apartment for a family of the same size would be a two-bedroom flat in an ecologically clean location or in the old centre of a city.
