Do Russian citizens follow international political developments? How much the domination of international political news coverage in national and foreign media, noted by multiple experts, meets our citizens’ interest?

In 2014 findings of our surveys showed increase in Russians’ interest in foreign policies coverage.

Some part of respondents having evidently shifted to the latter category was replaced by previously totally apolitical citizens.

This study was conducted in the period from August 2013 till February 2015 based on all-Russia random route sample (18+) by means of face-to-face interviews in place of residence. Altogether 1500 respondents in each of 8 federal districts, 150 settlements, 200 sample points have been interviewed. The sample error makes up 2,5%.
