Still worse than we thought. Today, as well as six months ago, pride for Russia through the war is felt by half of the Russians - the Carnegie Foundation

In Russia, which, through its own aggression, is seriously lost, they treat the war as another pandemic six months after the start of the war against Ukraine, for the residents of the aggressor country, this bloody conflict has turned into the usual background on which their lives flows.

The Russians treat the war "like another pandemic" - a crisis that just need to wait, after which everything will return to their seats, state in their fresh study Andrey Kolesnikov, an employee of the American analytical center Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, and Denis Volkov, Denis Volkov, Denis Volkov, Denis Volkov Levada Center Non -State Research Organization.

Video day, and although the proportion of Russian aggression Russians increased from 14% in March to 20% in June, due to increased repression and disappointment in the effectiveness of protests of powerful mass speeches against government in Russia. And in the future, the emergence of a large -scale anti -war movement in this country is unlikely.

The report called "Rights or Light My Country: Russian Public Opinion on Ukraine", published on September 7, Kolesnikov and Volkov made on the basis of surveys and focus groups conducted in the Russian Federation in February-August 2022. From it, HB distinguished seven key conclusions that were reached by researchers: 1. Not all Russians support the Putin regime and war, but it is unlikely various issues, including the approval of the authorities.

Therefore, it cannot be said that Russian dictator Vladimir Putin has full support for the Russian public, researchers emphasize. Opinions in society are polarized, and over time they are radicalized, leading to an increase in conflict. It is already noticeable that government resources have decreased to finance the poor population, while some Russians have lost their work due to leaving the market of Western companies, and, according to experts, unemployment will increase.

However, the deterioration of socio-economic conditions does not cause dissatisfaction with the authorities-in their troubles, most Russians accuse the West. In addition, the authorities continue to suppress unauthorized public activity. In such a situation, the appearance of mass anti -war movement in Russia is unlikely, the authors of the study are summed up. They are also reminiscent of the future presidential elections scheduled for 2024.

On the eve of this event, the authorities will further twist the nuts, which will probably be angry with ordinary Russians and will push part of the elites. However, as the previous experience shows, the intimidation method will work and eventually make the key cohorts of the Russian population unite around the regime. 2.
