Despite having been targeted by the Kremlin and ordered to register as a ‘foreign agent’ in May, the Levada Centre has remained as unbiased as ever, conducting polls on gay rights, government spending, and the upcoming Moscow elections with political equanimity.  But whatever bias it seems to have against the pollster, the Kremlin will no doubt be thrilled with its latest survey, which indicates that, of those who have actually heard of Navalny (more than a few months ago), an increasing number of them believe that the trial against him is fair, and not politically motivated, as is widely believed by Navalny’s supporters and Western analysts.
