The Poles about Polish-Russian Relations
Present assessment of Polish-Russian relations has been the worst in history of the CBOS research and comparable only to the results noted in December 2006. The vast majority of the Poles (65%) think that bilateral relations are bad, 27% describe them as neither good nor bad, and only 3% consider them as good.
Comparison with previous research results shows that since 2000 the chances on equal and friendly relations between Poland and Russia has never been perceived as pessimistically as nowadays. Significant proportion of interviewees (46%) think that real partnership between both countries is possible, however, only slightly lower proportion believe that it is impossible (43%).
The data comes from the survey “Current Problems and Events” conducted from 8 to 14 May 2014.
More on that issue can be found in the CBOS report in Polish: ”Opinions about Polish-Russian Relations and Polish Eastern Policy”.
