What Do Russians Fear the Most? (infographic)

The Levada Center, an independent Russian polling center, asked Russians in August what they feared the most. Respondents were asked to rate their fears on a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 indicating "do not fear at all" and 5 indicating "fear constantly." The results showed that overall, Russians are less fearful of several possible events than they were in 1994, with the biggest drop seen in their fear of a new world war.

… we have a small favor to ask.

As you may have heard, The Moscow Times, an independent news source for over 30 years, has been unjustly branded as a "foreign agent" by the Russian government. This blatant attempt to silence our voice is a direct assault on the integrity of journalism and the values we hold dear.
