&lt;br>
&lt;b>&lt;i> Major investigated questions&lt;/i>&lt;/b>: respondents were asked how the year was like for them and how their standard of living had changed. They were asked questions to assess the current economic situation in Lithuania and what respondents think will be the economic situation in Lithuania after 12 months. Also, the respondents assessed their current economic situation (their family) and the material situation of the respondents (their family) after 12 months respectively. The question was asked whether in 1992 in Lithuania the economic situation will increase, decrease or will be the same as in 1991. The question was posed whether World War was likely to break out in the next 10 years. It was asked whether 1992 will be better, worse or the same as in 1991. It was asked in which of the Baltic countries the most successful economic reforms are taking place and what the respondents think about the current “launch” of prices in Lithuania. Questions were asked whether respondents purchased more meat and its products compared to the previous month. Respondents were also asked whether they liked coffee and whether they drank when coffee became more expensive. It was wanted to know how the activities of the Supreme Council of Lithuania and the Government correspond to the interests of the people. The opinion was also asked on how V. Landsbergis performs the duties of the Chairman of the Supreme Council, and G. Vagnorius - the duties of the Prime Minister of Lithuania. Residents of Lithuania who participated in the survey were asked to answer whether Lithuania currently needs a president elected by all its citizens. Attitudes towards people who have not yet been punished for crimes committed during and after Stalinist repression have been studied. Respondents were asked whether they would like to have a personal weapon. At the end of the survey, it was wanted to find out on which step the respondents stand on the 9-step stairs.
