ROMIR and the HSE School of Communications presented the results of the second annual comprehensive study of the attitude of Russians towards information technology. The project was launched in 2024 with the aim of creating regular monitoring of technological sentiments in Russian society.

The 2025 study is based on the analysis of 1.1 million messages in the media space and a representative survey of 2,500 people aged 18-65. High data continuity is ensured by the participation of more than 80% of respondents in the previous wave, which makes it possible to track the real dynamics of changes in public opinion.

Among the key discoveries is the radical transformation of the perception of technology, when artificial intelligence has effectively replaced the concept of "information technology" in the minds of Russians. The study also revealed interesting paradoxes in the behavior of citizens, new types of technological anxieties and unexpected discrepancies between media discourse and the real concerns of the population.

The HSE School of Communications and ROMIR plan to continue regular research to form a long-term picture of the adaptation of Russian society to technological changes.
