A poll conducted on the Hürriyet Daily News website showed a crushing 74 percent of respondents did not think the protests in Russia would pave the way for a “Russian Spring,” similar to the uprisings throughout the world.

Twenty-one percent said they thought the mass rallies could lead to a “Russian Spring.”

Five percent said they had no idea on the matter.
