They are answers are of 174 respondents, school students in St. Petersburg (Russia) in Russian language. The survey was conducted from December 2017 to May 2018 online using Google forms.

Primary sorting was carried out by the inductive method of understanding the message's meaning: Does the message talk about resources and data (nature, architecture, climate) or about achievements and opportunities (merit, victory, the role of the city) within the opposition: conservatism versus innovation? Does the message refer to people (hospitality, character, pastime practices) or uniqueness, “genius loci” (atmosphere, culture, art) within the opposition: collectivism versus individualism?
