44% of Russians are ready to completely switch to Russian goods, abandoning imported ones. Such data was shown by a poll held by the online hypermarket Vprok.ru Perekrestok and the ResearchMe research center, Rossiyskaya Gazeta reports.

Over half of Russians aged 45 to 54 are ready to completely abandon imported products. Among young people, this figure is lower, for example, only one in five Russians aged 18 to 24 said that they could be happy exclusively with Russian goods.

According to the study, half of the residents of Moscow could completely switch to Russian goods, this is the highest figure in the country among cities of federal significance. More than half of the surveyed Ural and Siberian federal districts adhere to the same position.

The survey showed that Russians prefer to buy Russian food, for example, more than 60% of the study participants are looking for products from local factories.

Over 50% of respondents prefer Russian sweets, as well as Russian vegetables and fruits. Of the goods of other categories, Russian clothing and bed linen are the most popular among Russians.

According to the experts, the popularity of Russian goods has been growing in the country for a number of years, and the motivation for consumers is, among other things, the desire to support the economy of their country. Also, experts noted that the withdrawal of foreign companies from the Russian market gave Russian business additional opportunities for development.
