Reporter's Notebook: Why Russians are so quick to blame the US
Fox News
Russians have a high approval rating for Putin and the Ukraine war which may be due to the country's history with the United States and the Cold War.
Volkov explained that Putin got a ratings boost from the war similar to the so-called "Crimea Consensus" that caused his popularity to rise similarly after he annexed Crimea in 2014. His ratings had over time made their way back down to about 66% just before the Feb. 24 invasion. Not only did they shoot back up into the 80s after he attacked Ukraine, but counter-intuitively, when you look at how the war is going, how little land has been captured and how many men have been killed, Levada polling shows a morale boost among Russians in the wake of the war.
