Russophobia: How Western Media Turns Russia Into the Enemy

This book explores the phenomenon of Russophobia in Western media, tracing its roots back to the Cold War era. Despite the end of the Cold War, the stereotype of Russia as a ruthless, authoritarian regime has persisted, influencing the way Russia is perceived in the West. Dominic Basulto examines how this narrative has evolved during the Putin era, leading to a new Cold War between Russia and the West.

Basulto asks important questions about the nature of this phenomenon, including why attempts to challenge the Western media narrative are often dismissed as propaganda, and what policymakers get wrong about the Kremlin's motives. By understanding the roots and evolution of Russophobia, Basulto seeks to find a cure for this pervasive and damaging worldview.
