[lbo-talk] Russian attitudes on the Revo

[Chris Doss]

Russians just love statistics. Thus, the Moscow
newspaper Bolshoi Gorod (Big City), which is vaguely
approximate to the Village Voice or Washingto City
Paper, publishes lots of them in its weeky issues.
Here's the latest (Levada center survey, 1600 persons
asked through all Russia), comparing the result to the
same survey taken in 1990.
