I know that's a non-news but for the first time the polling highlights how both Russia and America are seen as "threats" by varying degrees, as follows in these random examples:
Russia sees as biggest threat the US: 64%.
Ukraine, biggest threat: Russia, 52%.
Bulgaria, biggest threat: US, 14%.
Hungary, biggest threat: Russia: 14%
What a silly headline. The polling absolutely does not show this.
The polling shows that Eastern Europe views Russia as a huge threat, and does not view the U.S. as a threat (which should be fairly obvious, as Russia is the one invading Eastern Europe, and the U.S. is the one protecting Eastern Europe).

Belarus, Serbia, Bulgaria are also EE...the title is accurate.
How many countries in Europe did the US invade in the 20th/21 century and how many Russia?
Oh and Greece, stay classy lol.
that's a weird question. Russia is IN Europe while the US is not, thousands of miles away.
It is like asking how many Latin American countries the US has invaded versus Russia.
What I learnt from various sources is Russians executed or deported to Siberia (mostly to gulags there) hundreds of thousand of ethnic Balts (and maybe Poles in Belarus and Ukraine) and brought in Russians and other soviet republic nationals to these countries, particularly to big cities to supplement the population decline caused by this mass execution/deportation.
They russified (or rather sovietized) most of the cities in ex-commie countries by building commie blocks which are plain concrete blocks, destroyed historical buildings or transformed them into barracks, ruined economy by centralised soviet style management, etc. and didn't do anything to compensate for the loss. Instead they started to invade these countries again by buying real estates, emigrating to these countries, increasing their influence by suppressing anti-Russian attitude through intimidation and nobbling, etc.
This is not fair. At least Russians should compensate for the losses they made these countries to suffer before starting to try to enhance and restore their political/economical influence in these ex-commie countries.
