I. About the all-Russian population census
As stated by the Federal Law on the All-Russian Population Census, the census of population shall be conducted in the Russian Federation at least once every ten years. As stated by Decree No. 1074 of the Government of the Russian Federation of December 23, 2009 On Organization of the 2010 All-Russian Population Census, the next All-Russian population census is scheduled for October 14-25, 2010. Remote and hard-to-reach areas, where transportation is impeded during the period of October 14-25, 2010, are to be covered by the All-Russian population census from April 1 to December 20, 2010.

1.1. General principles of population census
Population census completes two tasks - counts the population and provides information on demographic, economic and social characteristics of population of the whole country and of each residential area of the country.

Population census principles:

1.2. Organization of the population census
The whole territory of the country is divided into census precincts. Each of them is headed by a head of a census precinct.

Each census precinct is divided into instructor precincts; they are headed by instructors.
Each instructor precinct is divided into enumeration precincts. An enumerator, in charge of collecting data on population living in the territory of the precinct, is assigned by each enumeration precinct.

Besides, permanent enumeration precincts, where individuals (who have no dwelling, do not want to let an enumerator in, etc.) can come and answer the questionnaire of a population census form, are formed.

[Pg. 3]

II. General principles of obtaining information on population
The All-Russian population census shall cover all the individuals (regardless of citizenship), residing in the territory of the Russian Federation, including temporarily absent population.

Remember!
Census Papers (Forms L, P, V) and List of Individuals (Form S) are filled in according to respondents' words, without providing any documents that confirm the accuracy of their answers. In case any of the respondents is absent, population census papers are filled in according to the words of other householders (excluding data on national identity).

All the questions shall be asked exactly as they are written in population census forms,
and in the same sequence as well.

If a respondent fails or refuses to answer a question, it shall be left blank. Whereas the enumerator's task is to persuade the respondents to take part in the population census, making its purposes and value for the country as a whole and for every citizen clear for them.

Variants of possible causes for refusals and the solutions are given in Section IX "Difficult Situations".

[pg.4]

2.1. Population census papers

[Figure of the multiple census forms omitted.]

Population census forms to be filled in by enumerators at population surveying are briefly described below.

Population census forms, approved by Order No. 1990-r of the Government of the Russian Federation of December 16, 2009:

Those, who are residing temporarily in the Russian Federation as of the date of the population census, but live permanently abroad, are questioned according to the abridged program, given in Population Census Form V. Form V is for eight people - four on each side of the blank.

Control and accompanying documents, approved by Rosstat Order No. 332 of December 31, 2009:
Population Census Forms Cover / Cover Form separates population census forms, filled in in different living premises. Cover form contains brief information on the All-Russian population census of 2010 for enumerators and respondents, as well as auxiliary information on filling in Form S and Questions 1 and 3 of Form L.

List of Individuals / Form S is a control document which contains the address of a living premise and a list of the individuals, subject to the 2010 All-Russian population census. Table 1 is completed for those who permanently (normally) reside in a living premise, while Table 2 is completed for those who temporarily stay in a living premise as of the population census date, but permanently reside in another place. These tables shall be completed for each living premise before surveying the individuals according to population census forms. They are meant to check if all the residents of the living premise are enumerated in the corresponding census forms, as well as to verify if the residents are written in accordance to their households correctly.

List of Supervisors for Census Forms Filling / Form KS is a control document, needed for avoiding double counting of population. It is compiled if an individual has two places of residence, and the one, where the enumerator conducts a survey, is chosen for the census.

Census Participation Certificate / Form SPR is given (on completion of surveying and filling in of population census form) to all those,who have no place of permanent residence, that is - to the homeless (they are enumerated according to Form L), to all those, for whom Form V is made, as well as to those persons, having more than one place of residence, who report that they may be at another place of residence during the period till the end of the population census and control visiting. Besides, Form SPR is given at population enumeration of remote and hard-to-reach areas, to those who are intended to leave a hard-to-reach area for the second place of residence, or move to a new one during the period of general population census and control visiting (October 14-25, 2010).

Accompanying Form / Form N is a technical document which contains information on enumeration precinct in general (if enumeration precinct consists of only one settlement or part of one settlement), or information on a part of enumeration precinct, which belongs to one settlement (if enumeration precinct consists of several settlements).

More detailed information on how to fill in population census forms contains in Section IV "Population Census Forms Filling".

2.2. Date and term for collection of information on population
To get exact statistic data, all the information on population, entered into population census forms, is collected at one and the same date of population census.

Information on population is collected as of the moment of population enumeration at 00:00 (local time), October 14, 2010.

[pg.5]

Population shall be questioned with regard to this moment of population enumeration.

For example, children which are born after the moment of population enumeration (after 00:00, October 14, 2010), shall not be considered, but population census forms shall be compiled for those people who die before population census forms are filled in and are alive at the moment of population enumeration (a census taker should be maximally tactful when questioning people who go through tragic events at the moment).

Collection of data on population is performed from 14 through 25 October by means of questioning of population and filling census papers during visiting of residential and other premises where questioned people reside (stay).

Date of population census conduct for remote and hard-to-reach areas is established for the period from April 1 to December 20, 2010, in accordance with the terms of population census conduct specified by the joint Order of the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia and the Ministry of Regional Development of Russia "On approval of the list of remote and hard-to-reach areas and terms of conduct of the All-Russian Population Census of the Russian Federation of 2010 in these areas". In the district that fully belongs to hard-to-reach and remote areas, population census is conducted at the date set for the whole district. If a district partially belongs to hard-to-reach areas, the date for the population census is set for the moment of survey conduct in a particular settlement.

2.3. Population census place
During the population census all the population (regardless of citizenship), permanently residing in the territory of the Russian Federation, including those who are temporarily absent, is subject to account. Also, people, who live permanently in another state, but reside in the territory of the Russian Federation as of the moment of population enumeration (00:00, October 14, 2010), are subject to the population census according to the abridged program.

To enumerate population a census taker shall visit all residential premises in the territory of his/her enumeration precinct, as well as other premises where people live or may live. These residential and non-residential buildings are listed in Table 4 of Enumerator's Notebook and marked on Schematic plan of enumeration precinct. Visiting each premise, an enumerator shall conduct a survey of the population, residing there.

The following is considered residential premises:

Homeless people and those with no fixed abode are also enumerated.

2.4. Population
Every person shall be enumerated. Population is surveyed and registered in accordance with households.

[pg.6]

2.4.1. Household
A household means persons, residing in a dwelling house, apartment, room, or in a part of a dwelling house or apartment, jointly providing themselves with foodstuff and other necessary means of living and combining their income either wholly or partially. These persons can be connected with ties of kinship, or relationship resulting from marriage, or not be relatives. One household may comprise both relatives and non-relatives.

A household may consist of one person, living independently and providing himself/herself with food and all the necessary things for living.

Most households are family households, consisting of relatives.

People shall decide by themselves if they live as one household or as different households. However one should take into account that:

Every such premise can be occupied by people making up one or several households (depending on whether they run the house jointly or separately).

Households, residing in typical living premises (types of living premises "a" - "e" of clause 2.3), are called private households.

Persons, who permanently reside in institutions of social and medical purpose (children's homes, rest homes, hospitals, etc.), military barracks, detention facilities, religious organization (type of living premises "f" of clause 2.3), form collective households. These are groups of people, living together, usually united by a common objective, subject to common rules and eating together. It should be pointed out that the workers of these establishments who reside in official premises are not included in collective households and shall be enumerated according to the normal procedure, as private households.

Homeless persons compose separate households (households of homeless persons), which may consist of a single person or group of persons, connected by kinship or not.

2.4.2. Who shall be enumerated
Population is enumerated at the place of their permanent (common) residence.
The place of permanent residence is the place where the respondent daily spends the most part of his/her night's repose. Such place may match or not match with the address, where a person is registered (resides).

All the persons, permanently (commonly) residing in the premise, including those who are temporarily absent at the moment of the census conduct, are subject to enumerating in each premise.

Coming to a living premise, a census taker shall first find out who of the persons present lives there permanently.

[pg.7]

We wish to draw your attention to the procedure for enumeration of separate population categories:

2.4.3. Who shall not be enumerated
The following persons are not enumerated during the All-Russian population census:

2.4.4. Two places of residence
Questioning people in each premise a census taker shall find out if the respondents have another place of residence. If so, the resident shall decide where he/she will be enumerated. If the resident has difficulty in deciding on the place of the census conduct, preference is given to that place of residence, where his/her household lives (family, child, first-degree relatives, with whom he/she runs the house.

For example:

2.4.5. How to determine who shall be enumerated in a particular premise
Before questioning people according to population census papers (L, P, and V forms), a census taker shall fill L form "List of Individuals", put down the premise address and complete Table 1 and Table 2.

person that is subject to be enumerated in this premise, but was omitted by census taker, shall be recorded at the end of the list of table 1 of form S. His household number shall be written in the column A, and the current number within this household -- in the column B. If two households were written in the table 1, and the omitted person belongs to the first household, then the relationship (in brackets) with the first person recorded for the household under the first number, and the initials of the first household member (for example, "son-in-law of Petrova I.K.") shall be indicated after having written his surname, first name and patronymic in the column 1.

General recommendations
1. During population survey a census taker shall be dressed simply, neatly, and, depending on weather, rather warmly. You shall not wear too bright, expensive clothes and jewelry, take a lot of money with you, etc.
2. You should visit population only with a census taker's brief case, but not with a tote bag - this may put the residents on the alert.
3. You shall always have the telephone number of the nearest police-station and a whistle for the case of abnormal situation.
4. A census taker shall be polite, tactful and patient at work. It is necessary to understand that in the course of the census one can meet people of different natures and tempers, and the census taker's task is to find a way to communicate with everybody and to complete his/her work on time.
5. Coming to a stair case landing of an apartment house, one shall ring at all the apartments on this landing, so that the residents know that not only they are visited. Similar things shall be done for shared apartments. You shall introduce yourself to all, who have come out at your ring, explain the aim of your visit, show your Certificate of census taker and your passport, if needed, and then agree on the order of visiting apartments located at this staircase landing.
6. Census taker shall try, if possible, not to speak with respondents on external topics. Census taker shall not argue or, moreover, conflict with the respondent. Indulging in personalities or insult can only be met by a well-intentioned attempt to defuse tension. If this fails, one shall apologize for bothering, say goodbye politely and call another day.
7. After the survey is completed, a census taker shall thank each respondent for participation in the 2010 All-Russian population census. Thus, importance and significance of his/her participation in the population census are underlined once more.

Explanations, which population will probably need during census papers filling, are given below.
The survey begins with filling of Cover Form, in which census forms are put and which is needed to separate population census forms filled for one premise from those filled for another one.
Then S form - "List of Individuals" - is filled in. Filling of this form allows checking if all the residents of the living premise are enumerated in the corresponding census forms and if the census forms for people, residing in different premises, are not mixed.
L form - "Population census form" - is filled in each living premise for the individuals who constantly live in this premise.
Then P form - "Population census form," containing data on a residential house, a particular living premise and living conditions of each household within this living premise, - is filled for the whole living premise.
V form - "Population census form" - is filled for those, temporary staying in the territory of the Russian Federation and permanently residing abroad.
At surveying women with children under the age of 3 years, a census taker may have difficulties in filling questions 10.1 ("Point out all sources of income you have") and 11.1 ("Did you have any income-yielding job in the period of October 7-13, 2010?") of Population census sheet of L form.
The table below will help to determine what marks shall be made for these questions and in what cases, if a woman worked at the enterprise (organization, establishment) before the birth of her child, is on care leave in view of the birth of her child and continues to be a staff worker of the enterprise (organization, establishment):

Communicating with people, a census taker will probably have to answer questions of population concerning the conducted census. Here are some variants to answer these questions.

"What is the population census needed for?"
Population census is a traditional statistic procedure. Population census is needed to receive objective data on social, demographic, economic and national characteristics of population.
The data of population census will help the government to work more effectively and pursue a correct social policy. It is not a political action, but a public one.
Your participation in the population census is your contribution to the development of the country. It is not difficult, you run no risks. You have no reasons to refuse to take part in population census.
The population census results have a long-term perspective. They will benefit to decision-making not only on Russia's overcoming the crisis, but also on improvement of the quality of life at the post-crisis stage.
So for example, the results of the previous 2002 All-Russian population census were used by the state to work out demographic and social programs, national projects in public health, education, agriculture and housing. But the situation with population has changed significantly over the last years and there is a demand for actualization of data and comparing them with those of the latest census.

"What is the reason for conducting a population census, when all the information on people is available at passport offices, tax offices, etc.?"
There is information on population at different administrative sources, indeed, but they all contain incomplete information on part of population only. So for example, there is data on population registration at passport offices, but in fact these people may live at another address or even in another subject of the Russian Federation. There are no children under 18, as well as people, deprived of voting rights (disabled, convicted), in the voters' lists.
Besides, this data does not cover the whole spectrum of information on the population, whereas it is collected during censuses and makes it possible to view different population characteristics in combination, for example education level and native language.
There is no population register in our country so far.

"What questions are asked during census?"
The questionnaire or census schedule are prepared to get the information to satisfy all those who require it - minister, businessman, academician, student. The census schedule is widely discussed. In 2009, the All-Russian Statisticians Meeting was organized to discuss the census and consider its major organizational and methodological documents. In our country, such a practice to discuss the questions of census has been applied since the census of 1897.
The census schedule and methodology of registration of all the categories of population takes into account the recommendations of international organizations to provide the comparability of census results worldwide. The results of All-Russian population census compose the results of the World Census.
Many questions of census papers became habitual already; they repeat during each new census. It is done on purpose as the succession of schedules shall be kept to compare the previous censuses' results with the new census information, and monitor demographic and social trends of our society.
Main subjects of the census schedule have been listed in Article 6 of the Federal Law "On All-Russian Population Census". They are the following: age, marital status, education, number of children, nationality, language proficiency, residence, living conditions, provision of amenities, employment, migration. The contemporary economy conditions reqiure to ask a question about the sources of income. However, pay your attention to formulation of questions and prompts: nobody asks what income you have--the question relates only to sources of income.

[pg.66]

"Who needs my information?"
Upon processing of census papers no specific information on people will be published except consolidated results. The principle of anonymity for disclosed information is applied. Therefore, you have no reason to worry.
If you think that your information could be used against you, pay your attention to what is written on a census paper: "Confidentially (guaranteed by information recipient)". All census papers have this note. Any information obtained during the census is protected by law and no census makers--from the census takers to Head of the Russian Statistics Committee--is enabled to disclose your information (Art.8 of the Federal Law "On All-Russian Population Census" and Art.7 of the Federal Law "On Personal Data").
Your surname, name, patronymic, and address are to be recorded in census papers not to get mixed up while processing the information, so that, for example, a member of your family is not registered among people from another apartment. All your data in census papers is depersonalized.
Census poses no threat to you.

"You proceed asking your questions, but nothing changes for better..."
However, would you like some changes for better? And if you refuse to participate, how it will change our life for better?
If you feel bad, we need to let our state know, and take measures to improve your conditions. That is why precise information is needed.
If the previous All-Russian population census 2002 was not conducted, the state would not have basic data for development of national projects and social programs.
Therefore, we need to answer the questions, and thus, give this true information to change situation for the better.

"I don't like our authorities; therefore, I don't want to take part in the census."
It has nothing to do with authorities. Census does not relate to any authorities. Nobody suggests you to vote for somebody. Giving the census information, you provide help to make any right decisions not only to our administration, but for businessmen and community. Census isn't political but a social matter. It does no harm to anyone.
Many prominent persons took part in census due to their well understanding of its social and economic importance. E.g., L.Tolstoy was a census taker during the Moscow Census of 1882; and A.Chekhov took part in the Sakhalin Census of 1897.
Earlier, in the 18th century, M.Lomonosov developed his "Academic Questionnaire" with questions for collection of some statistical data, which characterized some separate Russian regions and the whole country in total.

"Whom do you enumerate?"
The census shall be conducted with regards of everyone who constantly (permanently) resides in the Russian Federation. Permanent residential place is a place where a person daily spend the most part of his/her night's repose. Such place may match or not match with the address, where a person is registered (resides).
The Russian citizens who are abroad due to their long-term official trip (including their family members) are subject to the census too.
According to the abridged schedule, the residents of other countries shall be enumerated, if they were in Russia as of the census (00:00, October 14, 2010).

"At what age a person can take part in the census?"
The whole population of country is subject to the census, regardless of age. Since 14, the person may respond a census taker questions independently; and information about younger children shall be given by their parents.

[pg.67]

"What documents do I need for the census? Do I have to show them to a census taker?"
No document shall be shown during questioning; all the information shall be written according to oral information received.

"May one person living in the apartment answer for all members of his/her household?"
Yes, if you possess correct information. If you don't, you need to inform a census taker about, and advise him/her of the time when all people are at home; then he/she will come again so that all people who reside together with you can answer a question on their nationality.

"What about census for persons with no fixed abode?"
The persons with no fixed abode will be enumerated as all the Russian citizens by questioning and filling the census papers in any places where a census taker meets them. As a rule, the places of their regular stay are known to the police. To avoid the double counting, persons with no fixed abode will receive certificated on their enumeration. Other census taker will not question them being presented such a certificate.

"Are the questioned persons obliged to allow a census taker into their apartments (house)?"
No, if they don't want to, they can go out to their staircase or yard of a private house for communication with a census taker, as well as come to their permanent precinct for enumeration.

"Is there any liability for refusing to participate in the census?"
According to legislation, taking part in the All-Russian population census is a social responsibility of any citizen. No penalties will be applied to those who refused to take part in the census.
However, in the USA, England, and Czech Republic, such people shall pay a serious fine according to their legislation. In Turkey, on the day of census, citizens are forbidden to leave their homes as they shall wait for their census taker. The Bolivian authorities took things a step further. This Latin American country closes its borders, cancels the trains and municipal transport; and all the inhabitants are ordered not to leave their home. It's due to the most part of Bolivians being employed in so called informal economy, and pays no taxes; therefore, the authorities fear that they will not collect true and complete data concerning the social and economic state of population. In Argentine and Chile, the law prescribes closing all places of entertainment, shops, restaurants, and service rendering enterprises.
In Russia the only argument for taking part in census is person's understanding that he/she is a part of society which needs the information about itself.
In addition legislators believe that their trust in population will provide true responses.

"May I not answer some questions of census paper?"
The census schedule is aimed at getting the results for all the questions both in terms of the country and the settlement where you reside. By refusing to answer some questions, you will prevent collection of full and correct information that influences you and your children indirectly. Absence of information on persons of certain age or social state can distort the general structure of this group of population, and this generation respectively. In general results of the census will contain no information on you and people like you.
Nevertheless, you shall know that there will be no penalties for you not answering any of the questions.

"I refuse to answer the question on my marital status"
Your data will be used for statistic purposes only. The Russian Statistics Committee is not interested in you specifically, but in general population conditions. No harm will be inflicted, if you provide this information.

[pg.68]

"I don't like to provide any information about my sources of income"
There is no question about size of income in the census papers but only about sources of income from the listed ones. In general form, this data will allow reflection of the population economic structure--the share of pensioners, housewives, and welfare recipients, etc. in each age group.

"How do you know if a respondent provided true or untrue answers?"
The worldwide principle of censuses is trust in population. A census taker will not ask any confirming documents, and will write your responses based on your words. Due to the best practice worldwide, the true answer is more convenient than a purposeful false. As a rule, share of jokers is insignificant and does not influence the census quality.

"Will any penalty be applied for providing false information?"
No penalty. Answers in census papers will be written from the words of questioned persons only--this is one of the main principles of the All-Russia population census. No document confirming your information shall be presented to your census taker.
