On Wednesday, Russian independent Levada Center research agency released the results of its August poll in which the Russian public was asked if they were aware that President Vladimir Putin has expressed his support for Andrey Semyonov in the 2018 presidential race.

Those who answered “yes” were then asked another question – whether they personally could cast their votes for Semyonov.

The catch was that Putin has never announced his backing for Andrey Semyonov because this politician was invented by Levada experts for the purposes of their study.

18% percent of respondents said they might vote for Semyonov, even though the majority – 15 percent – admitted they had never previously heard of him. Surprisingly, 3 percent of the public told the pollsters they knew of Semyonov and wanted to support him. A further 8 percent said were familiar with the candidate, but did not want to vote for him.

The majority of respondents – 63 percent – said they had heard nothing about Semyonov and therefore had no intention of casting their votes for him. Twelve percent remained undecided.
