The article by ANR-lab employees 'Myths and Beliefs about medical microchip implants in Russia, Ukraine and Slovenia' is published

Stanislav Moiseev, Daria Maltseva and Tamara Shcheglova, in collaboration with foreign colleagues, conducted a comparative study of the attitude of Russia, Ukraine and Slovenia population to passive RFID microchips within the framework of the Fundamental Research Program of the National Research University Higher School of Economics (HSE).

In their study, the authors conducted a mass survey in five countries – Slovenia, Poland, Croatia, Russia and Ukraine, and this article presents a comparison of the perception of passive microchips with radio frequency identification (RFID) in three countries – Slovenia, Russia and Ukraine. According to the results of the study, it turned out that the level of awareness about RFID technology is quite low in all countries, but in Slovenia a larger proportion of the population knows about the technology than in Russia and Ukraine. Microchip implants are often associated with surveillance and control tools. Residents of all three countries believe that tracking movements by digital footprints is the least attractive option for using microchip implants in the context of a pandemic, while the identification of vaccinated, recovered and sick people is evaluated positively.
