According to VTsIOM, these figures are two and a half times higher than those given. The diplomatic mission called the article disrespectful to readers. Diplomats called on Bloomberg to apologize and provide reliable data.

This time, the object of fraud was the“ rating ”of President Vladimir Putin. We call for professionalism and objectivity, post real confidence indicators and apologize to their audience for another misinformation,” the embassy said on a Facebook page.
Earlier this week, Bloomberg already published inaccurate information on the number of hospital beds in Russia.
