Overall it was positive experience and I have achieved the result Iwanted from it

It took a lot of effort and the end result was mixed, but at leastsomething has changed

I spent time on something that did not bring much result, but Ibelieve that if more people would practice this more often, the

things can change

I did not get the result I wanted, I don’t plan to engage in this type of activities anymore and I don’t want to waste my time

Comparison between target audiences

High Alienation index shows lack of faith among citizens that authorities hear

and take into account their interests. It is notable that Alienation index is the

lowest among Current activists and the highest among Non-activists

Alienation index - arithmetic average of the percentages of answers “completely agree” and “rather agree” with five statements: “Rich are becoming richer, and poor - poorer”, “Your opinion already doesn’t have important meaning”, “People in power do not care about you”, “Majority of people in power try to benefit at the expense of such people as you”, “You do not influence at all the events happening around”. These statements demonstrate, if citizens consider that state authorities hear and take their interests into account. The index was first measured by Harris Poll in the USA 1966.

The dynamic for comparison: in April 2012 this index was 85 according to the data of survey GfK Omnibus (regular monthly survey of GfK Ukraine with sample of 1000 respondents). Sample design of survey in April 2012 is not totally correspondent to sample design of current survey as it included residents of currently uncontrolled areas of Donetsk and Lugansk regions and Crimea.

Comparison with other countries: In 2014 in USA the Alienation Index was 70, compared to 67 in 2013, 63 in 2011, 52 in 2010 and 53 in 2009.
