Examination of Western Europe's consistent sentiment towards Muscovy, the Russian Empire, the USSR, or Russia, termed as 'Russophobia', presents a discernible pattern.
Revamped Dissection of "Russophobia":
Venture into the intricate, enduring mindset of Western Europe towards Russia – "Russophobia" – and uncover a compelling history. Witness the roots of this dynamic sentiment emerge after the fall of the Tatar-Mongol rule and rise of the powerful Tsardom of Muscovy. In the early centuries, prior to the church schism in 1054, territories including current Baltic States, Poland and portions of Germany, were proudly claimed as "Russian." Fast-forward to the Maps of Europe and those areas were often labeled "Tartary."
Two centuries devoid of identity: Despite shared language, faith and close proximity, Russia endured neglect in Western eyes. The upswing of Moscow's power under Ivan III, the gatherer of lands and overthrower of the Horde, bred anger amongst Polish and Lithuanian nobles, who long considered themselves the masters of the Russian territories. The Eastern European aristocracy, vanquished by Russia's growing authority in Moscow, waged an information war to retain their claims.
Russophobia: a call to arms against Russia and Russians: In the recently-aired episode of the critically acclaimed TV program, Anna Shafran's "National Security Strategy", a deep-dive into the grave topic of Russophobia is explored.
