Russians believe in coming political crisis

According to recent polls by Levada-Center, 56 per cent of Russians believe that a severe political crisis is imminent, Ekho Moskvy reports on Thursday.

At the same time only 44 per cent of Russians support Vladimir Putin, which means that his rating has dropped by 16 per cent since the last presidential elections.

Putin's rating is especially low among well-educated Russians and those living in big cities.
