"Do you know who condemns evaders the most? 37% of elderly people (60+) believe that it is a shame to be a draft dodger during the war. However, 50% of the youngest respondents (18-29 years old) are not ashamed. As, presumably, do their parents (50-59 years old) - 52% of people of this age can understand the evaders," the publication writes.

The survey was conducted from 20 to 28 June 2024. Sociologists polled 2027 respondents aged 18 and over, with a theoretical margin of error of less than 2.3%.
