Almost all Russian citizens claim that
they feel no effect from the sanctions against their country and most maintain
that the campaign seeks to weaken Russia and its position in global politics, reports RT.
According to the results of the latest
poll released by the VTIOM agency on Friday, 92 percent of Russians said that
the Western sanctions had not touched their interests in any way, 4 percent
replied that they had noticed an increase in retail prices and only 4 percent
declined to answer or reported actual problems, such as frozen bank accounts or
the loss of a job in a foreign-based company.
Further, 62 percent of respondents said the sanctions would not have any
effect on Russia. Fifteen percent said that after the start of the sanctions
campaign the life in the country had only become better and the same number
claimed life in Russia had deteriorated.
