Recent Levada Center Polls Show That Putin Remains Dominant In Russian Political System
March 1, 2021
There was good news for Vladimir Putin in the latest Levada Center Poll[1] discussed by Levada sociologist Denis Volkov in a broadcast on the Echo of Moscow radio station. Levada is considered an independent public opinion research organization, although it is labeled a foreign agent by the Russian Ministry of Justice, as it is the recipient of foreign grants.
A plurality of 48% of the respondents would like to see Putin continue in office after his current term expires in 2024; 41% would like him to leave office. This represents only a slight drop for Putin. In 2020, the response to the same question was 46% supporting his remaining in office with 40% opposed. Volkov attributes the decline in support to the impact of the pension reform, and the general increase in dissatisfaction against the backdrop of the economic crisis and the pandemic. [2]
Ali Akbar Salehi, Head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (IAEO) said that “if the need arises,” as Supreme Leader Khamenei put it, Iran is capable of increasing uranium enrichment to 60% within 24 hours. He made these remarks in an interview that aired on Channel 2 (Iran) on February 26, 2021. Salehi said that despite those who committed the “evil act” of targeting the Natanz nuclear facility, Iran has returned to producing 60-70% of the centrifuges it was capable of producing before the attack in less than a month. He added that now Iran is busy digging deep into the mountains in order to create more space for its nuclear facilities.
