Happiness score of tweets in Russian 2021-2023
Starting from the beginning of 2021, the lowest happiness score of Russian-language tweets around the world was recorded on February 24, 2022, which marked the beginning of the Russia-Ukraine war. Furthermore, the score dropped significantly on September 21, 2022, after mobilization was announced in Russia. In 2023, an increase in the happiness score was recorded in early January around the Orthodox Christmas and on Valentine's Day.
The Russian government blocked Twitter in the country at the end of February 2022, allegedly because Twitter was spreading false information about Russia's military actions in Ukraine. However, some users could still use the social media platform via a virtual private network (VPN).
