* The original question was formulated by the source as follows: "Taking all things together, would you say you are: very happy, rather happy, not very happy, or not happy at all?" The presented figures represent the share of respondents choosing answers "very happy" or "rather happy."
** The latest survey was conducted from May 24 to June 7, 2019.

According to the source, the population sample in Russia is "more urban, more educated and/or more affluent than the general population and the results should be viewed as reflecting the views of a more “connected” population."
