520 2  "Why do the USA, UK and Europe so hate Russia? How it is 
       that Western antipathy, once thought due to anti-Communism,
       could be so easily revived over a crisis in distant 
       Ukraine, against a Russia no longer communist? Why does 
       the West accuse Russia of empire-building, when 15 states 
       once part of the defunct Warsaw Pact are now part of NATO,
       and NATO troops now flank the Russian border? These are 
       only some of the questions Creating Russophobia 
       iinvestigates. Mettan begins by showing the strength of 
       the prejudice against Russia through the Western response 
       to a series of events: the Uberlingen mid-air collision, 
       the Beslan hostage- taking, the Ossetia War, the Sochi 
       Olympics and the crisis in Ukraine. He then delves into 
       the historical, religious, ideological and geopolitical 
       roots of the detestation of Russia in various European 
       nations over thirteen centuries since Charlemagne competed
       with Byzantium. Mettan examines the geopolitical 
       machinations expressed in those times through the medium 
       of religion, leading to the great Christian schism between
       Germanic Rome and Byzantium and the European Crusades 
       against Russian Orthodoxy. This history of taboos, 
       prejudices and propaganda directed against the Orthodox 
       Church provides the mythic foundations that shaped Western
       disdain for contemporary Russia. From the religious and 
       imperial rivalry created by Charlemagne and the papacy to 
       the genesis of French, English, German and then American 
       Russophobia, the West has been engaged in more or less 
       violent hostilities against Russia for a thousand years. 
       Contemporary Russophobia is manufactured through the 
       construction of an anti-Russian discourse in the media and
       the diplomatic world, and the fabrication and demonization
       of The Bad Guy, now personified by Vladimir Putin"--
