From 2,700 questionnaires and 300 interviews, it was found that despite official attempts to inhibit world-of-mouth communication, an unofficial, oral communications network co-exists with the official Soviet communications system and is an important information source for all Soviet strata. It supplements the official system for the better educated and substitutes for the official system for the Lc. Though a large part of the content of word-of-mouth network is hostile to the regime, participation in it cannot be interpreted as an index of disaffection. There is a tendency for less anti-Soviet persons in the Uc to participate more actively in this medium. For the Lc members and particularly peasants, there is a tendency of participation to be related with anti-Soviet sentiment. (AA).
