WHAT DOES RUSSOPHOBIC MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Russophobia

Russophobia or Anti-Russian sentiment refers to a diverse spectrum of negative prejudices, dislikes or fears of Russia, Russians, or Russian culture. There exists a wide variety of mass culture clichés about Russia and Russians. Many of these stereotypes were developed during the Cold War, and were used as elements of political war against the Soviet Union. Some of these prejudices are still observed in the discussions of the relations with Russia. Negative representation of Russia and Russians in modern popular culture is also often described as functional, as stereotypes about Russia may be used for framing reality, like creating an image of an enemy, or an excuse, or an explanation, for compensatory reasons, etc. Decades after the end of the Cold War, Russians are still portrayed as "Hollywood's go-to villains". Frequent criticism of Russia in western news media concerns Russia–Ukraine relations and worries that Russia will invade other former Soviet republics, human rights in Russia, and alleged limited democracy and media freedom in Russia, often articulated by western governments and the leading democracy and human rights watchdogs.
