Summary
Guy Mettan: Russia - West, a thousand years of war: Russophobia from Charlemagne to the Ukrainian crisis
Why do the United States and Europe hate Russia so much? Although Russia is no longer a threat, Berlin is no longer the target of its missiles, and despite the unique fact that its empire disunited without bloodshed, giving independence to fifteen new states, hatred and vilification of Russia has reached enormous proportions in the media, academic circles and within the political elites of the Western world. To understand this phenomenon, which has become hysterical since the Ukrainian crisis, Guy Mettan goes back in history to Charlemagne, who founded the first Western empire in the year 800. In order to provide a new opportunity for reconciliation, the author without any taboo or prejudice examines the religious, geopolitical and ideological roots of Western Russophobia and reveals the deepest motives of the anti-Russian and anti-Putin narrative, common and generally accepted in the Western media.
