Russophobia as a phenomenon

If in the class all the students call one of them a fighter, then accusing them of a biased attitude towards him is at least unreasonable. Russian diplomats and propagandists accuse Western countries of Russophobia, so maybe not without a reason? It is no secret that Russian tourists were not particularly loved before the war unleashed by Russia with Ukraine.

The scale of Russophobia in Europe turned out to be much larger than Russian diplomats imagined, and, it is important to note here, Vasily Nebenzya, Permanent Representative of Russia to the UN Security Council, acknowledged this on February 23 during his speech at a meeting of the World Organization for Cooperation between the UN and the European Union. Thus, the diplomat said that although Russian politicians had no illusions about the presence of Russophobia in European countries, they did not represent the true depth of this phenomenon. If this circumstance takes place, then perhaps the cause of Russophobia should be sought in the Russians themselves and not accuse people of other countries of being biased towards Russians.

The reaction of the Kremlin to such a mass phenomenon as Russophobia is interesting: Valery Fadeev, head of the Presidential Council for Human Rights, proposed to legally define the concept of Russophobia and introduce criminal liability for its manifestation. Fadeev does not limit the operation of the law to the territory of Russia, in his opinion, in the future, when the opportunity arises, people living in other countries should also be punished. This Kremlin official appears to be confident that the Russian Empire will re-incorporate the former colonies. A certain Yury Khokhlov, the head of the oversight of the execution of Russian laws, does not lag behind him, recommending that Russophobia be regarded as extremism.

It should be noted that in the days of the USSR, Russophobia as a phenomenon was not noted in Western countries. The fact is that at that time the communist regime only allowed people from the intelligentsia to go abroad, moreover, those who had passed a preliminary test for loyalty to the regime. Everything changed when, after the fall of the regime, the Russian people got the opportunity not only to travel around the world, but also to live abroad. With the war in Ukraine, Russophobia became widespread in the status of a social phenomenon, and the majority of the Russian people supported this war. (1)

It is phobia when the fear is irrational.

Fear of Russian genocidal maniacs is perfectly rational.

The vast majority of Russians are violent and aggressive. They hate Europeans and Americans.

Their culture consists of drinking, swearing, stealing, and most of all LYING.

Russkiy Mir only brings misery.
