Respondents were from Lithuania.

but not the article from OP

Young More Favorable Toward Russia
Views of Russia vary significantly by age in many of the countries surveyed, with young people ages 18-29 often more likely to express positive views of Russia than people 50 and older.

The difference in views of Russia between the youngest and oldest age cohorts is 20 percentage points or more in eight countries surveyed, including G20 members Japan, Canada, Brazil, Germany, the U.S. and South Korea.

Generational differences in views of Russia may reflect shifting perceptions of Russia’s place in the world. However, it may be part of a more universal phenomenon: the image of both the U.S. and China is often more favorable among those under 30, as opposed to people 50 and older.

Is it even possible to like Russia?

[Acquisitor]

To be honest, I kinda like Russians despite history, they don't cry.

its because most of them dont fully understand what was done to them.

Well, they did conquer the mongols, that must do something to ones mentality.

Russia's 20th century was far more tragic than most modern russians think. Unfortunately, I was talking about the more recent history

Dude like I say, these guys beat the mongols by being more savage than them.

[Methmatician]

brainwashing?
since those who lived in Soviet Union have more positive views of Russia than those who do not

When you call their countries fake then of course they are going to be hostile. How would you feel if people ridiculed your country? Not too well, and it shows with this thread how you're annoyed by people not favouring Russia, like countries need to love Russia despite historical policies of Russification and exploitation
