Summary/Abstract: The text is based on the results of the nationally representative survey "Majority and Minorities: Attitudes to the Different Ones", conducted by Alpha research agency in December 2019. The paper is focused on the attitudes to Gipsies (in comparison to other minority groups) because the attitude to them drastically differs from the attitude to other communities. They are categorically rejected by the majority – they are subject to hatred, mistrust, reluctance to integrate, they are always defined as "different from us".. . The attitude towards gypsies of different age and social groups, supporters of different parties is traced. The attitude has been traced in development – compared to previous research on this problem. This highlights the trend towards increasing social distances between Gypsies and macro-society.The text is based on the results of the nationally representative survey "Majority and Minorities: Attitudes to the Different Ones", conducted by Alpha research agency in December 2019.
