More than half of Russians are ready to support the shutdown of the Internet: 58% would not mind even a total shutdown of the Internet. This follows from a study prepared by American scientists together with the All-Russian Center for the Study of Public Opinion (VTsIOM).

Among respondents in Russia, 42% believe that foreign states use the network to the detriment of Russia, 49% believe that information on the Internet should be censored, and 81% negatively relate to the spread of calls to protest against the country's leadership - this is part of the indicators that the authors relied on

As the study showed, only 10% of respondents named news sites as the “first” most important source of information, and 6% named social networks.

In 60%, this place is occupied by central television, in 6% - by radio, in 5% - by newspapers, by the rest - by regional traditional media.

And the Internet is used by citizens primarily to search for “information for their own needs” (63%) and communicate on social networks (62%).

For reading Russian news, for example, 45% of respondents use it, international news - 31%, blogs and forums - 25%.

At the same time, Russians who use the Internet, in general, do not see in it big threats.
