Socio-cultural basis of the institutional trust

The authors examine association of the trust to the authority’s institutions in Russian regions with the indicators of social security and other social ones. The study is based on the data, collected during 8 years (4 waves of the research were organized during 2006-2013.) The result of the study demonstrates that in the Tyumen region (including KhMAO, YaNAO) the absolute level of trust to the authority’s institutions is relatively low, and generally has not changed seriously. It is demonstrated that the «vertical trust» is directly related to the components of the social state.
