>> Who do you think initiated the aggravation of the situation in eastern Ukraine?:

> 50%: U.S., NATO countries

What would have been somewhat encouraging would have been if the other 50% were like 45-49% "Russia" and 1-4% "Undecided" or "Other". Turns out, though, that:

> 16% think that Ukraine was the initiator. Meanwhile, only 4% named Russia

So, either they are pretty much deluded nationalists, or Putin's state-media brainwashing has been overwhelmingly successful.

(Any particular reason you left that bit out of your comment?)
