The study was conducted in Moscow in 2022-23, a total of 418 respondents took part in the study – residents of Russia (240 people) and Kazakhstan (178 people) from 21 to 45 years old, the average age was 30 years. The survey was conducted via the Internet.
Results. Based on the responses received using the content analysis method, different understanding and perception of social tension by residents of the two states were revealed.

It has been revealed that what is common for residents living in different territories of different states (Russia and Kazakhstan) is the perception and manifestation of social tension as fear, negative psychological experience.
