“There is no desire to fight. On the contrary, fear of a world war has risen very strongly. Generally speaking, it has moved to the second position. The first position is such a chronic fear for children and loved ones. […] The second place with very strong growth is the fear of a world war. 62% are afraid, “he said.

But all this militaristic rhetoric -“ we can repeat ”,“ we will dust off ”- on the one hand, of course , causes a certain feeling of satisfaction: we have become strong again, showed our teeth to everyone, forced ourselves to respect, and on the other hand – wet pants, just fear of what we will pay. And this is a very strong feeling, “- said the head of the Levada Center.
