Life In War Survey (LIWS)
At the beginning of the full-scale invasion, KSE University organized a panel study. We surveyed the same people a few weeks before the war and several months after. The dataset captures changes in the attitudes of Ukrainians across a wide range of social indicators (trust, values, religiosity, etc.).At the link, you will find a brief description of the study, the codebook, and the complete datasets.
We are already planning the next waves of the survey and are looking for partners to finance them. If you are interested in joining, please write to our research team at this email address: au.gro.esk%40anitoksomr.
