La maggior parte dei russi non ci vede come il miglior nemico per la prima volta in 13 anni. La Germania, il Regno Unito e l’Ucraina ora si classificano come i primi tre paesi più ostili.

      > Most Russians no longer consider the United States their country’s main enemy, according to a Levada Center survey released Thursday, as Donald Trump’s return to the White House fuels hopes of a diplomatic thaw between Moscow and Washington.

      > The share of respondents who named the U.S. as the most hostile country toward Russia has nearly halved to 40% this year, down from 76% in 2024.

      > The U.S. dropped from first to fourth on the ranking for the first time in 13 years.

      > **Germany (55%), the United Kingdom (49%) and Ukraine (43%) now rank as the top three most hostile countries in the eyes of Russian respondents.**

      > The shift in perception follows Trump’s inauguration in January after a campaign pledge to swiftly end the war in Ukraine. In March, Russian favorability toward the U.S. doubled, Levada said.

      > Russian state media has in recent months portrayed Trump as a pragmatic leader open to dialogue with Moscow. At the same time, Russian attitudes toward the U.S. have historically fluctuated in response to global events.

      > In 2008, after the Russo-Georgian war, U.S. favorability among Russians plummeted as the Bush administration condemned Moscow’s actions and sent humanitarian aid to Georgia. However, positive sentiment later rebounded, peaking at 63% three years later, according to Levada.

      > A similar decline followed the 2014 annexation of Crimea and Russia’s support of separatists in eastern Ukraine, after which the U.S. imposed sanctions against Russia.

      > On the opposite end of the latest Levada Center survey, respondents named Belarus (80%), China (64%), Kazakhstan (36%), India (32%) and North Korea (30%) as Russia’s “closest friends and allies.”

      > While these rankings mirror those from last year, the share of respondents naming North Korea nearly doubled after Russian state media credited North Korean troops with helping to “liberate” the Kursk region from occupying Ukrainian forces.

      > In contrast, the share of respondents naming Iran as a top ally dropped to 11%, down from 22% in 2024.

      > Levada conducted the in-person survey among 1,613 Russian adults between May 22 and May 28.

      You can’t say “most Russians” anymore, you have to say “Not all Russians:tm:” now or R*ddit will accuse you of tewwowizms and wacizms!

    4. That’s because Trump is as weak as shit, and those countries are actually prepping for war and getting ready to walk over there (fucking finally!).

      What !?!?!, the Russians, how DARE THEY! Sweden should be on that list. Well, better get to work then. Gripens could probably work…

    6. Ukraine ? How come, they are their brothers from another mother and they went there to free them

    7. Ok-yeah-no on

      You can tell this any time Russian bots comment anywhere and the videos appearing in YouTube

      How reliable are Levada polls now? As all negative sounds are silenced, can negative polls still be shown?

      One would think Ukraine would be nr. 1, for obvious reasons.

      And they got convinced to selfisolate right before USA became an untrustworthy NATO-member and they were made a target by the humiliation that is Russia with nukes.

      Difficult to not think that parts of it was by design.

      That makes me a little proud. Let that spur us to aid Ukraine more!

    12. tree_boom on

      WE’RE NUMBER ONE! WE’RE NUMBER ONE!

      Life is simple in russia, state TV says something, you repeat it.

      Easy life, no need to think.

    14. As a Frenchman, I’m somewhat disappointed. We have to do better.

    15. bananecroissant on

      As a Briton, I’m honoured we rank so highly for them 🥰

    16. sosmajstormiki on

      Yep, and they still feel free to massively send their offspring to get higher education in Germany, the UK and other EU countries.

    17. One-Employment3759 on

      Because no one would consider a TACO a serious enemy.

      With traitor Krasnov in place no surprise the about US but I’ve never been more proud to be British !

    19. Glittering-Sun-1438 on

      I’m surprised that Germany is number one, would’ve thought Ukraine, the UK and Poland would be in front by quite some distance

      RU government past 2 years :

      UA is not a country, its a puppet controlled by the US and a means US is doing war on us

      RU governmenr since Krasnov took the helm:

      UA is top enemy, but also UK, UK is why the war happened and is controlling UA for sure, I mean a pitiful small country like UA couldnt stand up to us, its defo UK
