description The attitude to statistics, to the published data at all times was difficult, regardless of the type of state, socio-economic situation, etc. There are always diametrically opposed groups – those who defend and those who accuse statistics of the accuracy or distortion of data. Statistics cannot accurately reflect reality, because even during the period of data calculation, products can be produced, people can be born or die, sales increase or decrease, etc. And, as life shows, the less state bodies interfere with the statistical methodology and results, the higher the quality of statistical indicators. We invite scientists, employees of Rosstat, all persons interested in the development of statistics to take part in the discussion of the place of statistics in our life.
