A recent poll from the Levada Center found that 53 percent of the Russian people hope that 2017 will be better than 2016. Only four percent said that they expect things to be worse. Eighteen percent do not think that 2017 will be any different from the previous year. The poll also found that 60 percent expect more corruption scandals and resignations of government officials. Twenty-one percent said that they expect mass unrest in 2017, down from 31 percent who held such views during the previous year. Only nine percent said that they expected a coup d’etat. The survey was carried out between December 9 and 12, 2016 among 1,600 people in 137 population centers in 48 regions of Russia.
