Those numbers we hear about\u2014Vladimir Putin\u2019s approval rating<\/a> at a whopping 80% \u2014 mostly come from the Levada Center.\u00a0It is Russia\u2019s only independent pollster. The rate of response to its outreach is about 27% and its polls are conducted in person.\u00a0Even if polls in Russia are not thought to be hugely accurate, given the fear factor, they are an important indicator of trends. The director of Levada, Denis Volkov, reflected on the high approval rating among Russians for the war in Ukraine\u2014at 75%\u2014giving a bit of context.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s important to understand,” Volkov told Fox News, “that there are several reasons for these high, high numbers of support.\u00a0One is consolidation, the rally behind the flag effect. The other is that people don\u2019t feel the war effects them and their lives directly.”\u00a0It feels far away to many and that is exactly how President Vladimir Putin wants it.<\/p>\n

Volkov explained that Putin got a ratings boost from the war similar to the so-called “Crimea Consensus” that caused his popularity to rise similarly after he annexed Crimea in 2014.\u00a0His ratings had over time made their way back down to about 66% just before the Feb. 24\u00a0invasion.\u00a0Not only did they shoot back up into the 80s after he attacked Ukraine,<\/a> but counter-intuitively, when you look at how the war is going, how little land has been captured and how many men have been killed, Levada polling shows a morale boost among Russians in the wake of the war.<\/p>\n

“We saw optimism going up, pride, self-esteem.\u00a0And even hopes for the future.”<\/p>\n

Levada\u2019s polling shows Russians dislike the United States<\/a> in equal measure to their like of Putin. That number has been high for some time.\u00a0What I find surprising is the expressed Russian readiness to blame the West and specifically the United States for the war that Putin started.<\/p>\n

“This has a very long history behind it.\u00a0Part of the history is experience with the Cold War,” Volkov said. “When the Cold War was over, there was a very short period of hope.\u00a0And what now (have become) illusions that the United States and Russia could be friends, partners, and there was a feeling that if anyone could help Russia,<\/a> it would be the United States, not even Europe. Then these hopes, these illusions, didn\u2019t come true.”<\/p>\n

Volkov goes on to say that “what we also see in our surveys that all conflicts Russia has taken part<\/a> in over the past decades were understood as conflicts between Russia and the United States.”\u00a0From Georgia to Syria.\u00a0So blaming the West is nothing new.\u00a0The stakes just feel much higher now.<\/p>\n

Volkov said that there is a difference between dislike towards the United States as a system, as feelings about American people and culture.\u00a0And if older Russians are more skeptical, more pro-Putin and more anti-American, then young people are more positive.\u00a0And that, he adds, scares the government as well as older generations.<\/p>\n

“They are fond of Western culture, American mass culture, music, and movies.<\/a>”\u00a0And they, Volkov said, are making the government and the older generations quite nervous because of this.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
