00:55, 17.12.2016Society

It took just eight months to residents of Ukraine to reconsider their political views, and to remember the «Russian brothers». During the November survey, 51.1% of respondents participating in the survey the Alexander Razumkov Center for Political and Economic Studies, said that Ukrainians and Russians are a fraternal people.

33.8% of the respondents do not think so, while 15.2% found it difficult to answer this question.

In western Ukraine, 28%  consider the Russians as brothers, in the center 41.2%, in the South 60.5%, in the East 87.1%.

41.6% of respondents do not believe that Russia can start an open full-scale war against Ukraine, while 35.4% do and 23% can not answer unequivocally. 

Curiously enough, in April, 70% of the respondents in a survey of the Razumkov Center considered Russia an aggressor country.
