MOSCOW (Sputnik) – According to the survey conducted by the non-governmental Russian research company Levada-Center, 82 percent of those interviewed said that they generally approve the work of Putin. The indicator remained the same since the start of the year.
Another 56 percent named him as the public figure they trust the most, followed by Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.
Exactly half of the respondents voiced the opinion that Russia was moving in the "right direction," while 32 percent disagreed and 19 percent were undecided.
