This is evidenced by the results of a survey conducted by the All-Russian Center for the Study of Public Opinion (VTsIOM).
However, the share of people who disapprove of the ban has increased from 2014 to 9% since 24. Critics include, first of all, young people (53% among 18-24 year olds), supporters of non-parliamentary parties (41%), Muscovites and St. Petersburg residents (32%).
In addition, the number of those who believe that counter-sanctions have done more harm than good has increased from 9 to 26%. At the same time, 67% of respondents hold the opposite point of view.
“The dynamics of perception of Russian anti-sanctions is explained by rising prices in the context of a reduction in imports and reduced competition among commodity producers,” says Mikhail Mamonov, head of research projects at VTsIOM.
The initiative all-Russian survey “VTsIOM-Sputnik” was conducted on March 2-3, 2017. Russians aged 18 years and older took part in the survey. The survey method is a telephone interview using a stratified two-base random sample of landline and mobile numbers of 1200 respondents.
