Situations in which volunteers in the course of the population census enter the data of Russians themselves, without the participation of citizens in this process, are unacceptable. This was announced on Friday, October 22, by the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov.
“Well, it must be completely wrong. This, of course, replaces the essence of the population census, if such partial manifestations, such individual cases take place, then, of course, this is the most serious reason to take measures to prevent it. Of course, this is unacceptable, it is absolutely unacceptable, ”he stressed.
So a representative of the Kremlin commented on the information that the census takers in Moscow were allegedly given the data of citizens so that they could fill out the questionnaires themselves.
As Peskov specified, the electronic format of participation in the population census is more desirable in the face of an aggravated epidemiological situation.
“I want to remind you that the President [РФ Владимир] Putin took part [в переписи населения] precisely in electronic format. Still, the electronic format of the census in the context of such an aggravation of the epidemic is, of course, the most preferable, easy and adequate, ”he added.
The Russian leader took part in the All-Russian Population Census on October 15. He answered the census questions through the portal of state services, from a computer from his office in the Kremlin. The head of state also addressed the citizens, noting the importance of participation in this event.
The All-Russian Population Census started on the same day. For the first time, the census will be digital. Citizens can independently fill out the census form on the public services portal, at the MFC and at stationary sites. In addition, nearly 320,000 census takers will go home.
The census will last until November 14, and in remote and hard-to-reach territories with which transport links are difficult – until December 20.
On October 14, an interactive form for participation in the All-Russian Population Census appeared on the “Gosuslugi” portal. You can fill out a questionnaire for collecting statistical data at census.gosuslugi.ru.
The first general population figures will be announced in January-February, and the final results will be officially published in the IV quarter of 2022. The previous population census was conducted in Russia in 2010.
