Over the course of a year, specialists interview a random sample of more than 38 thousand people by telephone on a daily basis.
According to Mediascope, for July-August thisyears, the Internet has not been encountered recently, by their own admission, 26.8 million Russians over the age of 12. The Web-Index project reflects the overall Internet behavior of 122.4 million people living both in megacities and in small towns and villages. Thus, in mid-2020, almost 22% of the population did not use the Internet.
It is noted that 20.9 million peopleof of them are citizens aged 55 years and older. This is due to the fact that not all representatives of the older generation of Russia have access to the network yet. The other 5.9 million of those who do not use the Internet are people under the age of 55.
In other age groups the situationopposite: the share of men who say that they did not go online, higher than the proportion of women. For example, 6% of men aged 25–34 years are not users, the same figure for women of the same age is less than 4%. In total, of the 5.9 million people under 55 who are still not familiar with the Internet, more than 3.3 million are men, and almost 2.6 million are women.
According to the General Director of the InstituteInternet research by Karen Kazaryan, among the younger generation, either so-called conservatives or young people living below the poverty line neglect the use of the Internet.
