Medvedev’s Cabinet of Ministers. 84% of Russians are satisfied with Putin’s responses at the direct line. 84% of Russians have no money for accommodation. 84% of Russians are satisfied with the level of the Russian educational system. 84% of Russians don’t go to museums (70% don’t know they are near, 14 were never interested). 84% of Russians consider themselves patriots. 84% of Russians started doing their jobs worse due to the heat. 84% of Russians are dissatisfied with their salaries. 84% of Russians consider homosexual relations morally unacceptable.
