metadata.value: Russophobia is one of the most odious phenomena that Russia has been facing for several
  centuries. At present, the Russophobic ideology has been adopted by almost all major Western
  countries; it determines the political agenda in the confrontation of these countries with Russia.
  To effectively oppose this policy, it is necessary to comprehensively analyze the origins of the
  Russophobic policy. The study and criticism of Russophobia presuppose the reconstruction of
  historical events, social factors and political ideas that constitute the origins of this phenomenon
  as well as the main directions of its evolution. It is important also to identify the main trends and
  versions of Russophobic ideology and investigate the place and role of Russophobic stereotypes
  in the public consciousness and ideological conflicts in the modern world. First of all, it is necessary
  to define the concept of “Russophobia” and evaluate the evolution of Russophobic discourse
  in socio-political life of the 20th–21st centuries. The article characterizes various ways of presenting
  Russophobia in political science discourse, showing the multifaceted and multifunctional nature
  of this political and ideological phenomenon based on fear of a strong Russia which is perceived
  as the “despotic antithesis” of European “democratic” civilization, as well as contempt for the
  “barbaric” and “slavishly submissive to the authorities” Russian people. A comparative analysis
  of approaches to the definition of the concept of “Russophobia” is carried out. The connection
  of Russophobia with ideology and propaganda is revealed. The following characteristic features
  of anti-Russian stamps, clichés, negative stereotypes that, in fact, constitute Russophobia are
  determined: falsification of historical data, the reporting of ridiculous information about Russia
  and Russians, the use of various kinds of fakes, reader manipulation techniques — forgeries,
  hoaxes, half-truths etc. The authors substantiate the position that only strong and independent
  Russia defending its national interests and civilizational values can resist successfully this global
  stream of political propaganda.
