The All-Russian Popular Front, on behalf of Russian President Vladimir Putin, is conducting a survey on the effectiveness of social support measures during the coronavirus pandemic, according to the ONF website

Its purpose is to determine the social well-being of people with disabilities and parents of children with disabilities during the coronavirus pandemic.

During the online meetings, the president asked the ONF to monitor the implementation of his instructions to support citizens during the coronavirus pandemic, said the portal “Miloserdie.ru” of deputy head of the executive committee of the ONF, Dmitry Polikanov.

“We decided to launch such a survey for people with disabilities, their relatives, parents of children with disabilities – to understand how these measures work, in what position these citizens and their families are.”

The survey “The social well-being of people with disabilities during the coronavirus pandemic” should take no more than 3-5 minutes. The data collected is anonymous. The results of the survey are planned to be presented to Russian President Vladimir Putin in early June.
