Russian enemies

[Balamut]

Russian determined who are their enemies: Americans took the first place, Chinese the second

However that may be Russian and Americans regard each other as enemies, though the leaders of our states have been convincing for a long time that the Cold War is in the past. It is in the past, but the public opinion has not changed much from that time. The public opinion poll, conducted by monitoring.ru is evidence of this sad statement. 34% of respondents, living in one hundred settlements, consider that USA represent the greatest danger to Russia. During the last year the number of Russians, who think so, increased. To all appearances, remains of the past still disturb Russian citizens, or maybe some imprudent statements of American politics, that Russia still represents danger to USA, caused such attitude.
China took the second place: 5 % of Russians regard it as a possible threat. Japan took the third place: 3 %.
