DISINFO: West waged real war against Russia, provoked conflicts, coups and spread Russophobia

SUMMARY

Western global elites have waged a real war against Russia. The West turns people against each other and divides society, provokes bloody conflicts and coups, sows hatred, Russophobia and aggressive nationalism.

RESPONSE

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative aiming to justify Russia’s unjustified military invasion of Ukraine by accusing the West of anti-Russian policies, aggressive Russophobia and allegedly belligerent and hostile agenda to destroy, ruin Russia, aiming to portray Russia as a victim and deflect any responsibility for Moscow’s illicit actions. See also Russian Myths: no.5 Encirclement.

The West has never strived to destroy Russia as a state. From the disintegration of the Soviet Union in 1991 and the emergence of a new and democratic Russia and up to Russia’s aggression against Ukraine in 2014, the West has been trying to establish good-neighbourly relations with Moscow. According to the 1997 Founding Act on Mutual Relations, Cooperation and Security between NATO and the Russian Federation, Russia was viewed as a partner of the alliance.

The statement also contains a recurring pro-Kremlin narrative about secret global elites that dominate the world, control governments, wage wars.

Analysts and researchers have pointed out that anti-Western conspiracy theories about all-powerful secret elites are a political tool used by the Kremlin to strengthen the domestic stability of the current regime and expand its influence abroad by emphasizing Russia’s moral superiority

Read similar cases claiming that the West calls for Russian state to be destroyed, that Europe and the United States destroy states and nations in pursuit of globalist interests, that The West’s liberal globalist elites aim to establish a world government in place of nation-states and that Russophobia is long-term Anglo-Saxon project aimed at destroying Russia
