Whence, then, the rabid Russophobia that characterised British public discourse after WWII? He debunks the notion that the British Russophobia originates in the inter-imperial rivalry (there was no severe clash of imperial interests, the “Great Game” legend notwithstanding). According to Professor Gleason, a good part of it was due to internal ideological and political polemics, fueled both by journalistic demagogues and representatives of some limitrophe states such as Poland. It is fascinating to compare the anti-Russian political and media campaign of that time with what goes on right now in the US, for example.
