A recent poll by the Public Opinion Foundation has found that Russians like to watch TV and think there is too much advertising. The poll, which was conducted among 1,000 people in 320 cities across Russia, revealed that Russians are generally content with their TV experience. When asked what do you like about TV, a third of respondents said they liked everything with the rest of the responses spread out among options like "Soviet movies" and "patriotic programs." In the "what do you not like" category, 30 percent were put out with the amount of ads on TV, while small percentages disliked the amount of violence and the amount of time devoted to the situation in Ukraine.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
