Woah... it's almost as if Russia has been the target of western propaganda ever since the establishment of the Soviet Union.

What's up with that?

You are wrong. The Russia has been a target of the western propaganda ever since the Great Schism[1]

I was skeptical that Russia was even influenced much by the Eastern Orthodox Church before the Great Schism, but I looked it up and found that it was: before the Great Schism, the Rus tried to invade Byzantium, which increased trade and cultural exchanges, and an important Rus ruler, Vladimir, converted to Orthodox Christianity.

Yeah, attacking all their neighbors, conspiring against rest of them, sending assassins across the globe... What's wrong with that, eh?

Stop trying to change the subject. This is a discussion about Russia, not the USA.

Whataboutism as usual?
