    40% of Russians believe Russia is to render assistance to
    self-proclaimed republics in the territory of the former USSR to
    gain full and formal independence. The Russian Public Opinion Center
    (VTsIOM) publishes the data based on a poll conducted on March 18-19,
    2006.

    Further, 26% believe, Russia should press South Ossetia, Abkhazia,
    Nagorno Karabakh, and Transdnestr to rejoin the states they had
    left. One third of respondents (34%) found it difficult to answer
    the question. Mainly respondents with university and unfinished
    university education tend to advocate international recognition of
    the self-proclaimed republics (46%).

    Answering the question about Russia's reaction to military conflicts
    in the CIS territory, 47% of respondents said, Russia should actively
    strive to settle them itself, 36%, on the contrary, believe it
    is necessary to give the role to international organizations (UN,
    OSCE etc.) or even to military and political forces from outside
    the CIS. It should be mentioned, there are more supporters of active
    position of Russia among men (54% against 34%), and women's opinion
    is nearly equally divided (42% against 39%).

    VTsIOM all-Russian public opinion poll was conducted on March 18-19,
    2006.

    1,600 persons from 153 settlements in 46 Russian regions and republics
    were questioned. Statistical error does not exceed 3.4%.
