EU Poll - Conservative Countries Have More Positive View of Russia
Recent Eurobarometer poll conducted in the EU shows that conservative countries tend to have more positive attitude toward Russia then liberal ones. Interestingly ex-Soviet and ex-Warsaw Pact countries which were part of Russian or Soviet spheres of influence have much better opinion of Russia then countries which newer were under any influence of Russia or Soviet Union. Paradoxically conservative Poland, traditionally the most Russophobic country in Europe have more positive view of Russia then extremely liberal, multicultural and feminist Sweden. This coincides with polls from USA which shows that conservative Republican voters have significantly better opinion of Russia then liberal Democratic voters.
