28% of Russians called 2020 one of the worst years in life

According to a study by the Rabota.ru service, more than half of Russians (61%) called 2020 a bad year, and only 3% said that it was the best in their life for them, reports the Kommersant newspaper. Perhaps for them this is due to some personal events such as the birth of children or the successful graduation from a prestigious university.

"More than half of the inhabitants of Russia (61%) gave 2020 1-4 points out of 10 possible, including 28% of respondents rated the current year at 1 point - it has become one of the worst in their life for them", - the RIA Novosti news agency notes".

Slightly more than a fifth of respondents (21%) rated 2020 in the range from 5 to 10 points. In their opinion, the past ten months for them differed little from most of the other years lived. Another 18% rated the last months at six points. Among the most difficult problems, the respondents named the loss of a job or its reduction, a drop in their income, psychological problems due to the consequences of the pandemic, anxiety for health, and the inability to go on vacation abroad.
