As a part of a global study, 215 Russian public relations practitioners completed an
online survey about their perceptions of professional leadership and communication
management. The Russian sample’s demographics differed significantly from the
overall sample’s make-up (N=4,484; 22 countries). Despite the differences, there was a
significant overlap between Russian participants’ and their global peers’ beliefs. This
result might signal the universality of some specific leadership aspects and/or a
globalization effect in Russian public relations
