Russophobia
Russophobia is an inordinate fear of anything Russian, the people, language, or culture. Russophobia has many times been used as a scare tactic to achieve political, for example during World War II in Nazi propaganda to support Nazi racial theories, or by US Democratic party and Progressive media to defeat Donald Trump during the 2016 Presidential election and immediately afterwards to under the Trump administration.
Russophobia should not be confused with the cause of anti-Communism, as critics of Sen. Joseph McCarthy often mistakenly do. The Russian people themselves from were the biggest opponents of Communism beginning from its earliest days after the October Revolution, suffered much, and where denied freedom and the right of self-determination by the Communists for more than 70 years.
