A new opinion poll released on August 5 by the All-Russia Center for the Study of Public Opinion found that only 28 percent of Russians support continuation of the war in Chechnya, while 57 percent prefer a negotiated settlement with the separatist rebels. Yury Levada, director of the polling center, noted that “even those who see the Chechen rebels as international terrorists, even those who support the president, want the war to end.”
