Abstract
The article presents the results of a comparative research of the severity of the problem of income inequality in the opinion of the Russians, compared with opinions of the population of other European countries. The research is based on the data of the European Social Survey for 2008 and 2012. In order to solve the research tasks, the author analyzes the opinion of the Russians about the level of income inequality in the country and carries out a cross-country comparative analysis of the degree of demands for the reduction of inequality. Special attention is paid to the analysis of socio-economic indicators that determined the difference between these demands in Russia and other European countries.
Keywords:
