[LiberalArkie]

Nearly half of Russians say they approve of a recent wave of anti-Kremlin protests in the Far East, according to an independent Levada Center poll published Tuesday.

Mass protests broke out this month after the arrest of the Khabarovsk region’s popular governor Sergei Furgal and his replacement with a Putin-appointed lawmaker from an outside region. People have taken to the streets of Khabarovsk near the Chinese border for 18 days in a row, marking an unprecedented show of opposition to the Kremlin in the region.

Forty-five percent of Russians surveyed by Levada said they view the protests positively, Levada’s poll said.

Just 17% of respondents said they view the protests negatively, while 26% said they view them with neutrality.
