Russophobia. History of the invention of fear

What is Russophobia? Does it exist at all, or was it invented by Russians themselves? What is the reason for the rejection of our country, and why is Russia often perceived in a negative way, as an antipode and a threat to the values of the Western "civilized" world? What are the historical roots of Russophobia as an ideology, as well as the myths and stereotypes on the basis of which the image of Russia is built? How was this image formed at different stages of historical development? Can Russophobia be perceived as a form of racism? Has the Russophobic view of our country always been dominant, or were there periods when it was perceived differently? Is it possible to develop immunity against this harmful social "virus"? Based on the analysis of works about Russia created at different times by Western writers, travelers, diplomats and politicians, the author of the book offers his own variants of answers to these complex, ambiguous and very topical questions.
