Abstract
The special military operation of the Russian Federation in Ukraine has split the world into two opposing camps: supporters and opponents. In this regard, the opinion of the Russians themselves about the causes and goals of the military operation that has begun is being updated. The results of the all-Russian survey presented in the article reveal the ideas of Russians about the reasons and goals of the military operation, and also clarify the degree of its support from the population. The level of loyalty to the President of the Russian Federation after the outbreak of hostilities is considered, and a hypothesis is put forward that the level of support for the special operation may increase as it is successfully implemented.
