>increased Russophobia

Where in the world is there any "Russophobia"? The far-right in the West and around the world loves Russia and Russians.

The far right has (predictably, misguidedly) become apparent Russophiles in reaction to the mainstream Russophobia (the “own the libs” playbook).

I don't think that's that significant. But it does prove my point.
