By the end of February, 30% of respondents said they were associated with the United States “very good” or “mostly good.”
The Russian attitude to the United States improved dramatically after Donald Trump’s return to the White House and began negotiations at the end of the war against Ukraine. According to the data Levada Center. It was almost twice as much as September 2024, if only 16% of respondents positively reviewed America, the Moscow Times reported Friday, March 14.
At the same time, the level of negative attitude to the United States in Russians decreased from 72 to 51%. In particular, 21% of respondents expressed a “very bad” attitude, and 30% “mostly bad”. Another 20% changed the answer, while in September only 13%.
The most positive in the Russian Federation is:
-
Youth up to 24 years (40% of positive assessments);
-
Russians who do not support Putin’s policy (38%);
-
Those who trust YouTube as a source of information (54%).
While the most skeptical of the Russian Federation related to America remains:
-
Citizens over 55 years of age (52% of negative assessments);
-
Residents of Moscow (63%);
-
Putin supporters (52%);
-
Those who trust in television as the main source of information (54%).
After Trump returned to the White House and the restoration of contacts between Moscow and Washington, the Russian media state began to change the rhetoric in relation to the United States. It was noted that the Kremlin had ordered propagandists to develop a “positive background of information” around diplomatic negotiations.
At the same time, the Russian government needs a careful approach: if negotiations break, the state media should quickly return to rhetoric of confrontation.
Remember that 58% of Russians promote the rapprochement of the Russian Federation along with western countries, which supports the expansion of economic, political and cultural.
We added that Russians generally believe that penalties are not harmful to their country or their own. So most of the Respondents of the Levada Center think – 86% of the total number of respondents.
