POLL REVEALS INTEGRATION PREFERENCES OF BELARUSIANS, UKRAINIANS, RUSSIANS
The All-Russian Center for Studies of Public Opinion (VTsIOM), in cooperation with pollsters in Belarus and Ukraine, has recently conducted a survey in Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine regarding respondents' attitudes to political and economic integration, Interfax reported on 24 May. According to VTsIOM, the overwhelming majority of people in the three countries think that there are reasons -- in particular, based on common history, family ties, and commonality of economic interests -- for the rapprochement of the three nations; only 6 percent of people in Ukraine and Russia and 10 percent in Belarus think that there are no such reasons whatsoever. The pollster also noted "peculiarities" in integration preferences in the three countries. Fifty-one percent of Russians want to live in their own country and are not enthusiastic about a supranational union, 28 percent of Belarusians would like to live in a "unified Europe," while 23 percent of Ukrainians would be happy living in a "union of Slavic states."
