Which in fact have asked this question to Google, with an impressive peak of + 2,250%. In terms of research interest, Russian President Putin is consistently more sought after than US President Joe Biden. To reveal it is a research by AvantGrade.com, a Seo & digital marketing agency, which has analyzed the search trends on Google in the last 7 days. The peak of research coincided with Putin’s speech, who on live TV recognized the independence of the Ukrainian separatist republics of Lugansk and Donetsk, the two regions of Donbass. Ukraine and Russia are very clicked online with a curious double north-south front: the greatest interest in Ukraine is recorded in Friuli Venezia Giulia, while the most active region in research on Russia is Campania followed by Sicily and Puglia. Other frequent Google searches related to the war also include “bombing of Ukraine” (+ 1,850%) and searches related to Russian President Putin which recorded a dramatic surge on “Putin recognizes”, “Putin recognizes Donbass” and ” Putin speech direct “. On the other hand, there are no particular peaks in research on the Ukrainian Prime Minister, Volodymyr Zelensky. “The Italians have not understood what is really happening between Russia and Ukraine and if in doubt they turn to Google – comments Ale Agostini, CEO of Avantgrade.com – L “uncertainty arises both from American rumors that constantly predicted the imminent attack of Russia, and from Putin’s tactic of recognizing the independence of the Donbass. The colloquial tone with which people search on Google is surprising.”
