Kurzfassung:
Analyzes unpublished public opinion data from a telephone poll of 1,006 residents of Moscow, conducted in December 1988 by the Institute of Sociology of the USSR Academy of Sciences. Examines prevalent attitudes toward antisemitic Russian nationalism. Questions were asked about perceptions of anti-Jewish discrimination, views on Stalin, and awareness of the existence of the antisemitic Pamyat organization. Classifies categories of those interviewed, and suggests a correlation between those who hold the most antisemitic views and those who perceive the least antisemitic discrimination in the USSR. A parallel poll of New York residents showed that they perceived more antisemitism in the USA than did Muscovites in the USSR. Argues that there is an overlap between pro-Pamyat, pro-Stalinist, antisemitic, and anti-"perestroika" attitudes. Contends that roughly one-third of the Russian population is sympathetic to the ideological complex of authoritarianism, anti-Westernism, and extremist Russian nationalism.
