This is evidenced by the results of a survey conducted by the Public Opinion Foundation (FOM), published today on the organization’s website.
In 2005, the figure was 40 percent, the study notes. That is, the growth was 10%,
A third of respondents (32 percent) described Stalin’s role as “partly positive and partly negative,” eight percent gave a negative assessment of his policies, and 11 percent found it difficult to answer this question.
More than half of the survey participants (55 percent) believe that Stalin’s role in the victory is currently assessed fairly, 19 percent expressed the opposite point of view.
It is noted that the study was conducted on May 2. 1,5 thousand residents from 53 regions of the country took part in it.
Every second Russian positively evaluates Stalin's role in the Great Patriotic War, according to FOM.
