Abstract	Utilizing data derived from a questionnaire survey of the rural population of Novosibirsk province in the USSR, the following hypothesis was tested: the attitude of rural inhabitants toward urban and rural conditions is characterized by a considerable preponderance of positive evaluations of dominant rural conditions and transient urban conditions and by considerable preponderance of negative evaluations of dominant urban and transient rural conditions. Living conditions were specified with reference to city or country in terms of the following general aspects of life: working conditions and content of work, distinctive job tasks, pay, place of work, and opportunity for social/occupational mobility; housing; recreational service; public trade; comprehensive and vocational training; health services; consumer services; transport and communication facilities; building types and landscape; size and density of population; and pace of life. Results indicated most rural people: favored dominant rural conditions; favored transient urban conditions; did not favor urban dominant conditions; and did not favor rural transient conditions. It was concluded that for these rural people, rural life was of independent value and the attractiveness of transient urban features indicated the desire to transfer modern conveniences to the countryside.
