Riveting ! I couldn’t put it down. The beef of the book - which were the chapters diving into the history of Russophobia by country - were a little overwhelming. There was just so many events, historical figures, writers, etc that I wasn’t familiar with so I had to re-read paragraphs and try to digest the information or look things up. But overall I loved this book and enjoyed it very much. There were many moments throughout my reading where I sat back and realized the logic of what he was writing and was amazed and impressed. I have lived in the US most of my life but was born in Russia - and I have sensed Russophobia around me. However I haven’t had the knowledge and understanding of the politics/history to really explain or make sense of that “feeling.” This book helped me with that
