Are there Ukrainians behind the Kirov City Sociology Center?

      Today, one of the employees Newsler.ru I received a call from an unknown number. The girl introduced herself as an employee of the Kirov City Sociology Center and said that she would now switch to a specialist, and we should give him answers to questions about the situation in the Kirov region.

      After switching, a man started talking to our employee. At the same time, he had a very strong Ukrainian accent.

      The man started asking questions about the life of our region. Employee Newsler.ru in turn, he also asked the question: at what address is this "Center" located. We didn't get an answer because the man on the other end of the line hung up.

      Recall that recently, some media representatives of the city of Kirov received information that "sociologists have begun to measure recognition ratings." At the same time, the message said that they asked about the attitude towards the president, the governor, and asked to assess the socio-economic situation in the region.

      By the way, we assume that natives of Ukraine who have moved to our country may live and work in Russia and, in particular, in Kirov. They may also have a strong Ukrainian accent, which may not have been smoothed out over several years of living in Russia. But the fact is that in Kirov and the region there is no separate "center of sociology" and, accordingly, there are no people working in this center.It should be noted that this is not the first time that calls from such "sociologists" have been received on the phones of Kirov residents. According to the TG channel "Shorter, Kirov", the channel's author received a call from a "lovely lady" the other day and offered to take a poll. The man was asked how he felt about Putin, how he felt about "the governor," without mentioning the latter's last name, and other questions.

      "At the end of the conversation, he asks the most important question: If the Duma elections were held on Sunday, who would you vote for, regardless of whether you know the candidate or not. And after that, he offers an endearing set of surnames. Here are the top proposed candidates: Beklyuk, Surayeva, PonariEv, BerEzin, VEsnin, Zhordov, NurgaleevA, U'senko," tg-channel reports.

      Note that in the editorial Newsler.ru They called from the number +7 (937) 083****. The number code — three digits in parentheses — has nothing to do with Kirov and the Kirov region.
