Russian President Vladimir Putin must take into account that the majority of Russians are afraid of the outbreak of World War III because of Russia's activities in Syria.

This Russian political scientist Dmitry Oreshkin said in a column on the "Apostrophe".

According to statistics, 57% of Russian citizens are seriously concerned about the possibility of the outbreak of World War III between Russia and the United States because of Syria.

"This is a completely mythological view, but it indirectly shows that the Syrian epic in the eyes of Putin's voter is unpopular. People do not understand what Russia is doing there, what interests them. Here is the conflict around the Crimea closer to Russians. They believe that it was necessary to take Crimea from Ukraine, because it is "Russian" and so on.

That is, the Crimean mythology is deeply rooted, "- said the political scientist..

"Therefore, from any point of view, Putin is not interested in getting involved in the Middle East conflict. Preheat interest - yes, but most to fight - at minimum. He has lost a lot in Syria, and if there are still planes, helicopters and people disappearing somewhere, irritation will accumulate, including among patriotic Putin's electorate. Therefore, he will remotely maintain the voltage, throwing droves there, "- added Oreshkin.
