According to a report released by the Public Opinion Foundation think tank on Friday, 66 percent of Russian citizens describe the work of the country\u2019s state security agencies as \u201cgood.\u201d 12 percent of respondents said they see the work of state security as \u201cbad,\u201d and 21 percent had no opinion.<\/p>\n

When researchers asked ordinary Russians what they see as the principle role of the special services, 27 percent cited the protection of the nation from external threats, 13 percent mentioned the security of ordinary citizens, and 7 percent said that security agencies had to prevent terrorist attacks and maintain order in the country. 35 percent of those surveyed provided no response.<\/p>\n

A total of 69 percent of participants said that they personally considered working for the special services as an attractive career option. 11 percent held the opposite opinion, and 20 percent said they had no simple answer to the question. Some 45 percent said that they would like to see their children as special services officers, while 33 percent said they would prefer a different career for their kids. A total of 22 percent declined to give an answer.<\/p>\n

When researchers asked respondents to list the typical traits of a special services agent, among the answers provided were honesty and adherence to principles, responsibility and seriousness, courage and self-sacrifice, patriotism, calmness and strong will.<\/p>\n

A total of 47 percent of those polled said that it would improve their opinion of a person if they learned that he or she had experience in the special services. 40 percent said this fact would not affect their opinion, and 5 percent said their attitude would seriously deteriorate due to such information.<\/p>\n

A separate poll conducted in 2016 after a string of terrorist attacks in Belgium showed that the proportion of Russian citizens who feared terrorist attacks had increased, but also that people had more confidence in the ability of the special services to protect them. Back then, the share of citizens who believed that Russia\u2019s special services could successfully counter terrorist actions increased to 59 percent from 35 percent during the previous year. 26 percent of respondents said they did not see the anti-terrorist services as capable, while 15 percent found the question too complicated to answer.<\/p>\n
