DISINFO: Russophobia is long-term Anglo-Saxon project aimed at destroying Russia

SUMMARY

Russophobia is the product of a long-term project to destroy Russia for the same reasons that many Arab countries, such as Lebanon, have been destroyed or are under attack. These reasons are not only oil, wealth and geostrategic issues, but also the ability to adhere to different models of traditional multicultural societies.

RESPONSE

Pro-Kremlin disinformation claim accusing the West/US of anti-Russian policies, aggressive Russophobia and allegedly belligerent and hostile agenda

In pro-Kremlin outlets, the term “Anglo-Saxons” stands for the US and UK and often means “belligerent” and “morally corrupt” Westerners,

This and similar disinformation narratives aim to deflect Russia's responsibility for the ongoing war in Ukraine.

US President Joe Biden, speaking recently in Warsaw, addressed Russian citizens, assuring them that the US does not seek to destroy or control Russia. French president Macron stated that "Russia must be defeated but not crushed."

Pro-Kremlin sources often claim that President Vladimir Putin saved Russia’s values and identity from the threat of Western decadence and that he is the only world leader that protects traditional European and Christian values. “Threatened values” is one of the most common narratives used by pro-Kremlin outlets.
