Meanwhile, if anyone still doubts whether this is a cold war scenario - latest polls from the Levada center in Russia show that 82% of Russians view the US negatively, and 71% view Europe negatively. 42% of Russians describe the US as "hostile".
A similar poll from early January by Pew Research in the west found that 72% of Americans and 74% of Europeans view Russia unfavorably.
Notably, in the past year these numbers have jumped by more than twice on both sides. Was Crimea really worth this?
