An analytical institution that provides data that the majority of Russian teachers do not want to return to work because of emotional burnout and low salaries could serve the interests of foreign bodies and mislead Russian citizens. This conclusion was reached by MK reporters who conducted a journalistic survey trying to find out the details of the opinion poll offered by the online service for opinion polling.

The authors of the article, published in the MK note, “It turned out that the said analytical institution, which conducts interviews with teachers and teachers throughout Russia, does not have its own website”. article “Swiss domain, recruiting Americans: The “double agency” of high-profile opinion polls against Russians.

According to the material, attempts to find the office of the analytical agency were also unsuccessful.

Investigators state that the site was discovered on the third day of the search. To a question sent to the company via e-mail, the reporters replied that “technical studies are in progress”.

The programmer, acting as an editorial expert, explained that the site has no “history”, but has an extension stating that it belongs to Switzerland, which is strange for a Russian sociology service.

In addition, it turns out that the company recruits through its GlassDoor system (an online recruiter and reviewer based in San Francisco).

Employees describing the “pros” of working at the company describe it as a comfortable family business. Talking about the “cons”, they state that “under the government contract the contractor changes every 5 years and the government stops working”.

The authors reported that when they finally managed to contact the representative of the company conducting the survey via e-mail, the sales department sent them their e-mail address.

“From there they did indeed share some statistics on teachers with us, but it’s not clear from which ceiling they were taken,” the article says.

The experts interviewed by the journalists explained that the study was based on online surveys without the verification of the participants and did not disregard that we are talking about filling out information.

“Many teachers are tired of paperwork and routine; yes, they are tired. Some parents want to get rid of the exam as much as they want. Everyone is tired of scooters, the prices of cruises have skyrocketed, are there any difficulties with the software?… Yes, yes and yes. The authors of the article say that the “difficulties of translation” have already begun.
