ResumoThe empirical data analyzed in this article were obtained during a series of expeditions to rural regions of the Republic of Altai, carried out by staffers of the Institute of Philosophy and Law, Siberian Department, Russian Academy of Sciences, in 1997-98. These data can be examined in greater detail in The Social Situation in the Rural Raions of the Republic of Altai [Sotsial'naia situatsiia v sel'skikh raionakh Respubliki Altai] [1]. The 1997 expeditions included teachers and students of the Teachers' University of Gorno-Altai. The work was performed in the framework of a research program entitled "The Ethno-Social Development of the Peoples of the Republic of Altai: Dynamics and Prognosis," part of the ongoing monitoring of the ethno-social development of the peoples of Siberia conducted by the institute since 1994. In all, four raions of the republic were surveyed in 1997-98. Expeditions to Ust'-Koksinskii and Ulaganskii raions were undertaken in 1997, and Kosh-Agachskii and Ust'-Kanskii raions were surveyed in 1998. A two-stage sample was used in all cases. First, population centers were selected in accordance with the territorial stratification of the raions (about half of the population centers were surveyed in each raion). Afterward, in each population center respondents were selected at random on the basis of household registers (where these were available) or by the street method (in all other cases). The sampling error represents an estimate of the maximum standard error with 95-percent probability.
