MOSCOW, KOMPAS.TV After one year of the pandemic, it turns out that there are still many people in Russia who believe that the corona virus was deliberately created as a biological weapon. As reported by Reuters on Sunday (07/03/2021), the latest survey in Russia shows more than 60% of respondents believe this.

Recent polls in Russia show that nearly two-thirds of Russians are unwilling to accept the Sputnik V vaccine, which is domestically made. Not only that, many Russians believe that the corona virus is a biological weapon.
