Also Number of Russians with Unfavorable View of Europe at Record High - Henry Kirby
Russia's foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov, said in October that relations between Russia and the US are at a post-Soviet "rock bottom." But more worrying, relations with the EU have also sunk to a record low: a poll out October 21 shows that Russians have never held a more negative view of the EU than they do today.
The independent pollster Levada Center found that the number of Russians that see the EU in a negative light has risen to 66% - by far the highest level since the survey was launched over a decade ago.
The result is worrying. Russians have always been slightly stand offish with the US, their former nemesis in the Cold War and the same poll found that Russia's disapproval here is even higher: 82% of Russians view the US in a negative light.

Propaganda that is blastd at Russians from ALL their TV channels makes Fox News look like a fair and balanced outlet. They believe what Kremlin decided the TV shoud tell them.
And that puts the two countries on a collision course.
I'm certain Russians are propagandized. I'm less certain that it is worse than elsewhere, including the US.
