Eight out of ten (84%) of respondents who believe that the country is moving in the right direction are confident that the annexation of Crimea to Russia has brought the country more benefit than harm. Among those who believe that things are going badly in the country, just over half (54%) believe the annexation has benefited Russia. A third (32%) are sure that the annexation of the peninsula did more harm.
