I think its because of US policies and funding of NGO’s in Eastern Europe who spread nationalism and anti USSR history throughout. I was listening a podcast of https://open.spotify.com/show/3R28kE3Z0qgqwTWR4C6uBx where an American professor in history told the host that most Russophobic propaganda are spread through various NGOs and Gulag memorial .

I think the early colorful revolutions in central Asia and Europe was to bring all these countries more close to US sphere and thereby strong Russophobia while religion also plays a role but I suppose the background propaganda and intense anti USSR notion in academia and intelligensia also plays a role .

well history repeats itself , Germany is going to collapse and AfD is going to return strongly and green party is firing coal plants to secure energy . Seriously Europeans ! Never understood the motivations of Frenchies too , Macron did a show a weak spine but now its too late .

if a country is a brought under NATO and EU its bound to be Russophobic. Same as Moldova , Romania and Georgia. Now young generation of Georgia have strong anti Russia sentiment where as in 2008 it was not so much. Kazakhstan also have strong Russophobia, there it seems the Islamophication of certain tribes of Kazakhs has brought anti Russia sentiment.

I am just curious why Poles are so much anti Russia not so much anti Ukraine when OUN killed 100K Poles , also was it because Russian empire occupied Poland in 1911 and then again the Communist government is seen as an extension of USSR.

And who fought British over Crimea ? Catherine ?

UK is going to be the biggest failed state after EU or before EU.

Britain always hated Russia. Their enmity is far beyond USSR and communism. I remember studying a note from a book that after the failed 1857 Indian uprising against EIC and abolishing of Mughal empire, few Rajputs kings of India secretly sent a convoy to ask Tsar of Russian empire to help Indian subcontinent. They were asking for direct military help to free India but Tsar thought it was a risky job .
