Bad Guys and Nice Guys
April 8th, 2009
The cold war is still on. Or at least some people think it is. People in the USA, France, Great Britain, Germany, Italy and Spain can name the personalities that rise hostility in them.
According to the latest study Fidel Castro is regarded as the main villain for the entire civilized world. Vladimir Putin can’t boast of being a favorite of NATO countries residents either. The Chinese leader Hu Jintao, Dmitry Medvedev and Pope Benedict XVI are equally unpopular among Europeans. The only European leader who will not be praised with a friendly smile by 50% of the interviewed is Silvio Berlusconi.
The main Mr Nice Guy is Dalai Lama. Only 7% of the people interviewed claim to dislike him.
