Views of Russia have strongly deteriorated since last year, as shown in the latest 24-country
poll for BBC World Service conducted mostly before the events in Crimea. Feelings have
become more negative in 13 countries polled, and are the most negative since the poll
began in 2005.

The poll also finds that views of the United States have worsened around the world, led by
sharp increases in negative views among citizens of Spain (up 19 points), Germany (up 18
points) and Brazil (up 15 points).
