"Large majorities of Russians have negative feelings toward
anti-government online content. These feelings translate into
significant portions of the public supporting censorship: of social
network groups that organize anti-government protests (46 percent); of
online videos by the dissident rock band Pussy Riot (45 percent) and
of bloggers that call for regime change (43 percent). Based on these
perceived external and internal threats, it should not be a surprise
that the Federal Russian Security Service is the organization most
trusted as the regulator of the Internet."
