The Russian non-governmental research organization Levada Center conducted a research study to find out the attitude of Russians towards US in the face of recent Russia-West tensions, Sputnik News reports.

The researcher surveyed 1,600 people from 134 localities of the 46 country's regions. The results showed that almost 60 percent of Russians think that the United States pose a threat to the country as compared to the same survey in 2007, when only 47 percent considered US to be threat. 

In spite of this over a half of Russians exclude the possibility that  the two countries can start a war against each other as according to them such a conflict would have no winners. In contrast a third of polled said that Russia would be a winner in case of confrontation, while 5 percent assume, the United States is to defeat Russia.
