Datasets

I managed wave 2 of the Russian Crime Victimization Survey end to end — questionnaire design, RDD sampling and stratification, CATI fieldwork, data curation — and served on the team for wave 3. It remains the only repeated nationwide victimization survey in Russia. Besides, the two Kazakhstani datasets are deposited on researchdata.kz, a data hub for social scientists working on the country, launched through Kazakhstan Sociology Lab in June 2026.
