These are the data of a sociological study by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology regarding the so-called index of effectiveness of Russian propaganda in Ukraine, by which KIIS understands “the spread of support for the main theses of Russian propaganda by the population of Ukraine,” each of which is believed by 80 percent of Russian citizens.
Thus, the effectiveness index of Russian propaganda in the Ukrainian capital was 21 percent, according to the survey results. The leaders of the pro-Russian rating are the Kharkov and Donetsk regions - 50 percent each. The least number of people receptive to pro-Russian theses live in the Lviv region - 8 percent.
Moreover, regarding Kyiv, KIIS director Vladimir Paniotto clarified that we are talking about those living in the capital on a permanent, not temporary basis.
The survey was conducted from February 14 to February 24, 2015 using personal interviews. 2013 respondents living in 108 settlements of all regions of Ukraine (except for the Autonomous Republic of Crimea) were interviewed using a stochastic sample representative of the population of Ukraine over 18 years of age. In the Donetsk and Lugansk regions, the research was carried out both in territories controlled by Ukraine and in territories not controlled.
