DISINFO: Almost half of the Russian youth thinks Putin's press conference was interesting

SUMMARY

Almost half of the Russian youth thinks President Vladimir Putin’s press conference was interesting and his answers honest and sincere, according to a poll by the Centre for Student Sociology.

RESPONSE

The Centre for Student Sociology is not a reliable pollster. It is part of the Young Guard of United Russia, the youth wing of the ruling United Russia party. According to fact-checking by the Insider, the polling was conducted on a Testograf website that allows users to answer the query repeatedly and does not verify the identity of the respondent. The Centre did not publish the results of the poll on its website.

Cases in the EUvsDisinfo database focus on messages in the international information space that are identified as providing a partial, distorted, or false depiction of reality and spread key pro-Kremlin messages. This does not necessarily imply, however, that a given outlet is linked to the Kremlin or editorially pro-Kremlin, or that it has intentionally sought to disinform.
