If one makes a cut-off at 30%, Russians think that 2 countries are
friendly and 6 countries are not friendly - roughly 3 enemies for 1
friend. Of course, among those 6 are the Baltic states.

Not that it would change anything, but could someone please explain
what these countries exactly do to deserve the 'not friendly' status?
I guess, if they asked random people (i.e. not targeting people with
particular interest in politics), many views would reflect media
reports. The results seem to be quite obvious:
Georgia - due to recent war.
USA - the status of enemy has been carried on from cold war.
Ukraine - they want to be in NATO.
Estonia - bronze soldier.
Latvia - waffen SS veterans' marches.
Lithuania - is part of "pribaltika", so they must be enemies too.

On the left hand side:
Belarus - the most Soviet out of ex-Soviet republics -))

It is also interesting that 13% said that Russia has no close friends
or allies.

would not work in all caseshttp://fra.europa.eu/fraWebsite/eu-midis/index_en.htm)
