Impact of the war on society

According to the data from the study, 41% of respondents believe that the war has 'crippled the souls' of those who experienced these events. Another 19% believe that the 'participants of the SVO' have become 'cruel and prone to violence', while 11% think that during the war the occupiers became 'indifferent and cynical'. About half of those surveyed do not fear expressing opinions that contradict the Kremlin's line and admitted that they feel negative emotions towards the Russian army.

Complexity of public opinion

The research by the Levada Center indicates that a significant part of Russians have a negative attitude towards the participants of the war and are convinced that they negatively impact society. This underscores the complex domestic political situation in Russia and shows the division of opinions among citizens regarding the conflict in Eastern Ukraine.

These survey results reflect the deep social and psychological consequences of the war for ordinary people. The negative perception of combatants may indicate both post-traumatic disorders and a general anxiety in society about the future. The situation in the country remains tense, and the plight in which people find themselves requires attention and support.
