    Sorry but this is not russophobia at all, in fact I quite like Russian people/culture. But it is an apt description of a tactic employed by modern right-wing spin-doctors that originated in Russia and is employed by Russian state-propaganda a lot.

      You are painting Russia as the “bad guy” when its not even mentioned in the image, just vaguely connected through your questionable interpretation of it. What is that if not russophobia? But it makes sense, as you are also defending the same capitalist media which promotes russophobia day in and day out.

        Again, I have nothing against Russians… but this style of propaganda was developed by them first and was and is widely deployed by their state-propaganda. Its like calling someone Sinophobe because they point out that certain Chinese dishes that they don’t like were in fact invented by Chinese people.

        P.S.: I criticize western media a lot… but equating them with Nazis or Nazi-apologists is not an honest criticism.
