Levada Center Poll Reveals Germany as Top Enemy for Majority of Russians

A recent poll conducted by the Levada Center, Russia's only independent sociological research institute, reveals a stark shift in public opinion. A significant majority of Russians now view Germany as their primary adversary. "For the majority of Russians, Germany is the enemy," the video states, summarizing the poll's key finding. This dramatic change is largely attributed to the change in US leadership. While former President Biden actively supported Ukraine with weapons and clear statements, President Trump's approach has been more ambiguous. The video quotes a portion of the poll stating that 55% of respondents identified Germany as one of the most hostile nations towards Russia. The shift is significant, a drop from 76% in 2024 to 40% currently. This change in sentiment underscores the complex interplay between international relations and domestic public opinion. The Levada Center's findings provide valuable insight into the evolving geopolitical landscape.
