MOSCOW, February 27 (RIA Novosti) – Only four percent of Russians describe relations between Moscow and Kiev as “friendly,” an independent pollster said Wednesday.

The Levada Center reported that 40 percent of respondents to its poll described relations with Ukraine in positive terms: four percent as “friendly,” ten percent as “neighborly,” and 26 percent as “normal.”

However, 54 percent used negative terms: 31 percent said relations were “chilly,” 21 percent “tense” and two percent “hostile.” Six percent did not answer.

While 60 percent of Russians said that their opinion of Ukraine was “largely positive” and 22 percent describing their view of the ex-Soviet neighbor as “largely negative.”

Only 10 percent of respondents used stronger terms, with six percent describing their opinion of Ukraine as “very positive” and four percent saying it was “very negative.” The rest gave no response.

The survey of 1,603 people from 130 cities and towns in 45 regions was conducted from January 24-27. The margin of error was no more than 3.4 percent.

In all truth, what is happening now in Ukraine is...surprising, to say the least. I always had the impression that, unlike the Poles, most Ukrainians loved Russia.

they are illegitimate watch this video if you have doubts, technically yankowich is still president

funny how mccain said these protests will spread to russia as well. Its the complete opposite putin is now strengthened like never before. Ukraine gave putin another foreign enemy he can point to if he wants to distract from internal policies.

This is exactly what happened after orange revolution, before orange revolution putin was not very authoritarian. Thanks to american foreign policy my country cant be democratic.
Thanks you America for ruining russian democrazy

Go Russia, defend your motherland and crush the democrazy!!!
