Approximately one half of Russians were willing to use national digital currency instead of regular cash, according to a survey conducted in 2021. To compare, 38 percent of respondents were not in favor of this idea.
If the Central Bank issues a national digital currency (that is, cash will go digital) with which you could pay anywhere on an equal basis with regular cash, will you use it?

The survey was conducted by tablet-assisted personal interview (TAPI).
The original survey question was worded as follows: " Если завтра Центральный Банк выпустит национальную цифровую валюту (то есть, наличные перейдут в цифровой формат), которыми можно будет платить абсолютно в любом месте наравне с обычными наличными, будете ли Вы ими пользоваться?"
