A recent survey conducted by the American research firm Gallup between March and May 2024 indicates that a record 60% of Russian residents believe the economic situation in their city or region is worsening. This figure marks the highest level of negative sentiment recorded since Gallup initiated these studies in Russia in 2006. Previous peaks in economic pessimism were observed during the COVID-19 pandemic, with 45% expressing a negative outlook in 2020 and 50% in 2021. The current findings suggest a significant increase in public concern regarding the domestic economic landscape. Sources: Радіо Свобода.
