France/Britain & US have ~equal population to Latam and Africa, respectively.
(2) The usual amusing preoccupation with symbolic dates, exactly one month before the Presidential elections (to which Navalny represented ~zero threat).
But when tested as part of a list experiment, it plummets to 70%! 
Link to the report (which I haven't yet looked at it in any detail): oecd-ilibrary.org/docserver/53f2…
Far Right populism has been in retreat in the advanced Western countries after peaking in the 2010s. But the debased memes it created will continue to afflict the poorer and intellectually marginal areas of the world, with their weaker memetic nervous systems, for years to come.
Incidentally, it's quite appropriate IMO that the first network states conference is being hosted in the city that also saw the world's first joint stock company, stock exchange - and one of the first financial bubbles. 
Does look like an mass ban of hundreds if not thousands of accounts, many of whom were not even necessarily active.
As expected, pro-Imperials dislike Stormcloak racism and consider them dupes of the Thalmor, while Stormcloak nationalists view it as an anti-imperialist liberation struggle. 
The idea was based on Inosmi, a RIA project to translate foreign journalism into Russian. Back then, much of Western journalism could be credibly seen as hyperbolically anti-Russian, so translating Lucas, Harding, Ioffe, etc., ironically worked to drum up patriotic sentiment. 
Artificial nature of the charges (advocacy on behalf of DNR mobiks about salary non-payments a year ago) suggest it was drawn up on short notice. Putin just doesn't want the KRP active against a backdrop of frontline uncertainty, which is not unreasonable from his perspective.
After his complaints were dismissed, Popov - who has a rare reputation for competence - said he'd report personally to VVP. Gerasimov took it as a challenge to his authority and fired him on the spot for "panic-mongering" and "blackmail."
But even for kremlins the main motivation was to cosplay American imperial adventures (with <10% of the economic base) and to earn "respect" from Americans, which flubbed due to their own incompetence, but which itself can be ultimately traced back to Russia not being America.
This would appear to actually be very bad news for Ukraine, since in the last such survey in February, "only" 17% reported losing a close one (and 9% six months before that).
In retrospect, I think the puzzle was already answered in Russian nationalist writings about the rather "peculiar" nature of the Ministry of Emergency Situations (MChS) that Shoigu headed from 1991-2012.
