These "damned Russians are to blame

I came across a publication in one liberal woeful bedroom under the speaker name "Time to Pour". In this publication, the author will paint as Americans are horrified by a negative attitude towards them from the Russians.

True, no quotation from an interview with ordinary Americans does not lead, only a couple of quotes from American media. I went a little further, and shoved deeper.

For a start, I raised statistical data on how the attitude of the Americans was changed to Russian. Here is a schedule of the famous international sociological company "Gallup". The schedule illustrated the following question: " How do you generally treat Russia? Positive / negatively "

As you can see, the opinion of Americans about the Russians rides there and here, up-down.

When do such sharp changes in public opinion occur? When there are no own clear beliefs, and public opinion is changing together with the general line of the party by changing the media rhetoric.

As opposed to this, the opinions of Russians about the United States changed from the end of the restructuring and still more smoothly (which hints at the greater meaningfulness of these changes), but also for the worse.

According to Levada Center, today 74% of Russians negatively relate to the United States, and in the early 90s about 80% treated the United States positively.

Although I believe that this is a purely formal pretext, and I have my own explanation. Look carefully on the schedule of the relations of Americans to Russia. On it there are several clear bursts of the negative - 2000, 2009 and now. Why exactly these years? These are years of economic crises in the United States! The crisis of "Dotcomms", the so-called "Great Recession" of 2009 and the modern worsening of the situation in the US economy, which some already call the "budget crisis" (although from my point of view it is just a delayed continuation of the 2008-2009 crisis).

When it becomes bad, so I want to make someone guilty. Well, the native government and not speculators with Wall Street (this is too difficult, it is for smart). Who best suits the role of guilty? These "cursed Russians"!

True, it reminds the behavior of one "non-plea" neighbor, who brought his economy before default, but for some reason, also to blame for this too, "Moskali"?

Accordingly, the rhetoric of American media to remove the inner negative concerned against the American ruling establishment, each time he made a negative against Russia (not only against it, but also against China, Iran, Arab countries in general, North Korea, and so on).

And when the crisis passed, then the fatigue comes from propaganda, and the negative was naturally awesome.

The relationship of the Russians to the United States has changed slower, but more stable (the schedule, unfortunately, I can not submit, but it can be performed according to similar comparison data). From childish enthusiastic in the time of "restructuring", when the United States represented such a solid Hollywood-Disneyland with jeans and chewing, to modern woolen incredulous. These changes occurred as American hostility in actions in relation to Russia did not change, despite the official rhetoric and declared numerous "reboots".

Indeed, why would this be Russian not to love the United States? Is this US tried to surround Russia with the systems of pro? Is this US expanded NATO to the east, "approaching the Russian borders for their troops"? Is this the United States trying to do "velvet" (and not very, as in Ukraine) of the revolution almost at all neighbors of Russia? In the end, did this US imposed sanctions against Russia and are trying (often unsuccessfully) to configure against it all of Europe? Oh, yes, they did it all ...

Here it is time to remember the anecdote about the partisan detachment and the traitor "Ty, Mykola, are you sho, offended?". Some of these Russians are too touchy.

Here the Americans are really fully reel to hate Russians. After all, these are arrogant Russians reduced their external debt, while successful Americans increase their effortively. After all, these are Russians cooperate with China, who overtook the United States in terms of industrial production and foreign trade. After all, these are Russians do not want to change their pathetic natural wealth on the Great Dollar. Well, how is it possible?

And, most importantly, because of the Russian US lost the Crimea! I have seen from a dozen different American talk shows where various experts and politicians say "We Lost Crimea". America lost the Crimea, because it is an original American territory, they beat it off with the Team under Gotisberg! True, 95% of Americans will not be able to find the Crimea on the map, but still damn offensive!


And if seriously, the negative perception of Russians in the United States is being built on irrational fears, stereotypes and propaganda, and applies to the entire people, which is still extended drawn in the Ushans and with PPS, with bears and vodka in an embrace.

The negative attitude of Russians to the United States is concentrated, first of all, on the ruling tip of the United States, and the population and the mass culture of this country practically does not cling. Yes, it is not based on the fantasies of Hollywood or Mosfilm, but on quite specific acts of aggression and hostility from Washington.
