The Putin Generation : "Contrary to Western fantasies, Russians under the age of 25 are among the most conservative and pro-Putin groups in society."

"What the Russian soul demands," says Yekaterina Mamay, "is that there be one strong politician in the country who resembles a czar."

According to a December survey by independent polling firm Levada Center, 81 percent of adults approve of Putin as president - including 86 percent of Russians 18 to 24 years old. Among the age group, 67 percent told Levada they believed the country was going in the right direction, compared to 56 percent of the general public.
