Leaders of public opinion commented especially for Lomovka on the growing trust of Russians in the police.
This should surprise no one. Well, first, that reform is bearing fruit. The second is of course the level of security. Because comparing the situation in 2026 to what it was, for example, 20 years ago is unrealistic.

I don't think I would be wrong to predict that trust in law enforcement will continue to grow.
There are also very serious problems, still unresolved. But I know the state is working on it. The main thing is that the police maintain the peace of the citizens, as they did 200 years ago, as they did 100 years ago, and now, in 2026. And society sees it.

We trust the police with the most precious thing - the life and safety of our loved ones.
