Russia’s loneliness crisis deepens as experts warn of generational risks
A recent discussion on the Detali programme highlighted the growing issue of loneliness in Russia. Experts from psychology and psychiatry joined the show to share their insights on the problem. Their comments follow new findings from a national survey on how Russians perceive isolation today.
The Russian Public Opinion Research Center (VTsIOM) carried out a study on loneliness across the country. Results showed that most people now notice more lonely individuals in both cities and villages. Over the past 15 years, the number of Russians who claim they do not fear loneliness has climbed from 54% to 68%.
The Detali discussion brought attention to a rising concern in Russian society. Experts stressed that loneliness affects people differently, with younger generations facing higher risks. The survey results and professional opinions now provide a clearer picture of how isolation is changing across the country.
