Why Does the US Establishment Hate Russia?

- This video is about the History of US Russian relations since the end of the Cold War. Why was it that in the 1990s Russia was considered a friend and almost an ally? At what poibt did the relations turn to distrust, hostility and then intoo a proxy war? Is it all Putin's fault? Did the expansion of NATO have anything to do with it? Why were these crucial for mankind decisions made?
Dr. Brovkin is a Russian born American Historian, now retired, served as an Associate Professor of Soviet History at Harvard University, and the author of his newest book: From Vladimir Lenin to Vladiir Putin. Russia in Search of Its Identity. 1913-2023. All of his books are available on Amazon.
US born and bred here. The political elite here in the US have always had a hard-on
for Russia going back to when I was in high school in the 1960s. My best friend was
promoting the John Burch Society. The was a brief period following the collapse of
the USSR that the US and Russia had better relations but it wasn't genuine. The US
wanted to take over every bit of Russian resources that it could and presented a
friendly face for a time. But the US can never be trusted because it is always
looking to take advantage of another country given any opportunity.
Frankly, I'm disgusted by US foreign policy going back at least as far as the
Vietnam war when a number of my young friends died for absolutely no reason
other than to bolster US heremony.

good summary of what happenned

Thanks I almost forgot about how I was once into the John Birch narratives.
I am from Russia. Even in Russian media I have never seen such short and clear describing of the situation. Thank you.
So would you say that you do have comparably neutral/sincere media? Cheers from Germany, Sven
@@Hals-Ueber-Kopf I am not godd in politics, I don't read western media, so I cannot compare which media are more neutral. Russian media are pro-russian, western media are pro-western. I meant that an american professor did what russian journalists and bloggers did not: he described the situation in Russia in such a laconic and understandable way. It is a shame for russian journalists. They did something similar, but not so clear.
@@Hals-Ueber-Kopf I'm from Russia, too. I would answer yes, we do. And I agree with the comment, that this description of the situation is very good. There are surely more details to the situation, but it would be impossible to discuss them in a 15-minute video.
@@iandreeva2008 come on, man. I am sympathetic to Russia’s geopolitical situation, but don’t pretend like the Russian media are free to criticize your president.

Did Putin murder his 'presidential opponent ?
American "elites" who now craft US foreign policy are not Americans.
Well I hope one day people in mid and west Europe and The Ukraine can hear and especially "see" the truth and we can live in peace together as European brothers. But with current western geopolitical thinking and with Europe on the leash of America that will be a hard , tough and long road ahead unfortunately. Best wishes

Same here, ordered this channel immediately after first visit. Very educative and unbiased.
I live in Ireland and the ignorance about Russia is very real. A colleague today said they all live in abject poverty and have no freedoms. No excuse in this era of abundant information for this bigotry.
true
did your fried get info from cnn??🤣
yes. the west wants us to believe that all the countries we don't like are backwards and impoverished. nothing can be further from the truth.
i watch some traveling podcasters that travel thru such countries and lo and behold the people there look healthy and happy and they have cars and electricity and the stores are modern and stocked. the streets are clean and bustling with people.
and there aren't soldiers on every corner waiting to sweep people up for the smallest of inconsistancies.

Well, 40% of the population does not have have access to a paved road. Minimum salary is 175€ per month. No free press. Etc, etc,....
It amazes me how the American establishment doesn't even know how much is hated all over the world population.
I confirm your statement as non us citizen.
Why should they care about that?
@@MrDelgrigorovThe day of reckoning will inevitably come with 1 trillion of debt to be financed every 100 days. Foreigners simply cease to underwrite it and next is sort of Argentina. BTW „they“ hate Russia because they are financially rock solid at least in comparison.
@@jean-marcducommun8185 By US establishment you didn't mean the US government and officials right? Because the real Us establishment is the most financially rock solid group in the entire world and they do not care about anything and anyone.

@@MrDelgrigorov : Because there are consequences. Business as usual doesn't work.!!😳
Dr Brovkin has given us a very objective analysis of geopolitical situations in the world. It is clear that the Americans are aggressive in their policy to dominate the world.

It isn't 'the Americans', it's a group of globalist elitists who use America to advance their interests. Average Americans don't benefit from this aggressive foreign policy.
You didn't mention England. England has always 'feared/ hated' Russia, going back to the 'Monarchy days', when Russia was a rising power, threatening England's prominence in European affairs. After the American Rev. War, the English nobility NEVER left the US, staying in Mass, Conn, NY..., influencing our laws and policies to this day. But, I agree with everything you said about the last 30 years too!
The colonies did not have any nobility! And, yes, lots of loyalists returned to England.
The British have always confronted anyone who wanted to have a hegemony in Continental Europe, because then that power would have control of the British economy and be an existensial threat for them. That is why they fought against the Habsburgs in the 16th and 17th century, against the Bourbons in the 18th century, against the French Revolutionaries and Napoleon in the late 18th century and early 18 th century and against Germany in the 20th century and later against the Soviet Union and now Russia. The British made a big mistake in the 19th century when they in love with their splendid isolation left Germany and Italy to unite. They only confronted Russia in the mid-19 th century because it was a threat to the Empire rather than Britain itself and its economy. They were to pay very hard for that mistake as they lost an Empire to fight Germany twice and Italy once.
Americans speak ENGLISH
I'm English and no 'England' has not always hated Russia. Our longtime enemy was France and latterly Germany. We sided with Russia in WW1 and WW2. England's issue with Russia was its potential threat to India which never materialised. The Crimea war in the 1850s was surprisingly about Jerusalem.
Heck, England even invaded CRIMEA in the 1850s ! Along with France, and Turkey.
They had a tough time against the evil Russians. Read your Tennyson, and the "Charge of The Light Brigade".
WAIT! Gee... But, wasn't it the Ukrainians that owned Crimea then?? No? Hmm....
How fabulous to come across this.....

I thought racism was taboo, why is it okay against Russia 🤷🏼♀️ there you go again USA dictators and haters. My mum was nearly killed by American aeroplane bombs 1947 is now called Northern Greece, which was Macedonia this is how they overthrow our country, we believe it was a secret army cause no one knew about it just that region and Greece, probably not even the Greek people. Weren’t we civilians? Thing is they got away with this both England and America 🥲
Isn’t Racism taboo so why is it okay to be racist against Russia 🤷🏼♀️ how evil you actually see the real haters spreading lies because they can’t control Russia glory to Russia God you you with riches peace and harmony 🙏🏻♥️

Maybe, both nations are corrupt as hell though. So was ever unlikely to happen. There is a reason USSR and the Warsaw pact fell apart.
Think what a better world we could have if USA had a far less imperialistic foreign policy. As George Galloway, leader of the British workers party said. Imperialism has not disappeared it has changed it's form. Imperialism is like a wild animal, but it is a dying wild animal and a dying wild animal is an even more extremely dangerous beast
@@Musiclover4822 russia is nowhere near as curropt as america, its time to ask why we are the mkst overworked and most taxed nation on earth. (Russia income tax 3% ours is 30%....)
@@Musiclover4822hello average-liberal-propoganda eater
Thank you so much. I grow up believing that the Russian people are good people, my mother said this to me when I was in primary school. Since then I have this image rooted in my mind about the Russian. Then I came to America in the late 70s and my ex ( a scientist) worked at RAND Corporation in Santa Monica, California. He sometimes took me to his office and one time I saw him and his colleague watching looking at the computer screen and on it were Russian tanks. His colleague said (to ex husband), the number of tanks the Russian has. For my young mind at 18, I did not understand why the Russian had many war tanks. Then here comes the Hollywood movies about the war the US against the Russian. Always the Russian is the bad guy. At that time and now my feelings for the Russian did not deterred but stayed the same. I like and love the Russian and I thank my mum for telling me. My mum was old enough to know how the Russian fought and how many millions of Russian people died during the WWII. Today, I got to know that the West and its allies are the bullies, especially the West.
Thank you for this.
Where are you originally from ?
@fleurrade7954: I'm German and also was astonished about the Russian Germans who came in the 1990s back to Germany, how friendly and helpful they were to me, in fact I found my very first friends only amoung them. How versatile and intelligent those Russian speaking Germans were! They could do almost anything: repair cars, build houses, ... This they learnt to do in Russia. Thus, Russia must be a good and instructive country.
The Russians fought in WWII but they were fighting for their land and there lives, not for Europe.
Before Germany started the war with them in 1941 the Britiish had been fighting almost single handedly for 2 years while Russia were the Allies of Germany and used this as an oportunity to invade Poland, Finland and Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.
@@1bluetoe You know the reason that the Soviet Union did not rush into war with Germany right? And you know that the Germans had very few troops on the Western Front relative to the Eastern Front? And therefore the Soviet Union drew German troops away from the island. And you do know that the Soviets won the war and saved Britain's arse?
Russia is not the only target in this war. Ukraine itself is perhaps the PRIMARY target. Weakening Russia is obviously the end game, but we must not discount the strategic risk (for US) the possibility of Ukraine joining Russia in a federation, thereby strengthening the enemy. We must not forget, Ukrainians are basically Russians who speak with a slight accent, with Russian culture, Russian values and Russian conflict resolution skills. That's why, this war is fought against Ukraine as much as it is fought against Russia. To "fight until the last Ukrainian" is not just a figure of speech, it is US strategy. US and NATO's "help" is a "rope" they hand to a "friend" to hang himself with.
very useful insight
Yes, very accurate observation!
So true
I think the primary target of the US is Europe, European markets and European consumers.
@verar5844 but Europe is already 'conquered' and vassal of US. The target is Russia and ultimately China, right after.
Thank you Vladimir. I think that is probably the most informative 15 minutes I have ever experienced on RUclips.
This is the type of channel that kids should be watching when their parents leave them with a laptop with youtube "On" so atleast they get enough information in order to not become easy targets for politicians across the entire world.
Wonderful podcast, but does not address the changes inside of America, which are vast. America hates Russia for the same reasons the government hates its own population. The fabric of America over the past 36 years (since the first Bush president I would argue) has completely changed. A country once proud of its largely republican history and its free elections, to an Oligarchy with often rigged elections combined with the emergence of a ruling class aimed at something akin to modern totalitarianism, which hates most of the population of america, and its constitution itself, once a prized and sacred thing, an oligarchy which seeks to jail political opposition, and sees censorship as a legitimate weapon. A country which is being both invaded and emptied all at once. A government which seeks to become the modern version of the east german government of the cold war, a hybrid surveillance state. One can argue that the changes inside of America are actually more profound since 1990, than in Russia itself. The governing Oligarchs which suffuse every action in DC hate Russia for many of the same reasons it hates its own American population. Freedom and independence in Russia and of Russia, is hated by the transformed new Oligarchy of America, which seeks as all totalitarian central states do, total control within and without. A subjected domestic population. What are the forces which have transformed America are many, but there is little doubt that the information age, the gigantic cable TVs have been useful tools to the separation of the american population, and the ushering forth of the Oligarch Centrally Planned American SuperState.
Very well said, and don't forget Russia is not selling out its country or population. They are not embracing LGBTQ, nor transgenderism or wokeness. They are not letting freaks run their country. They do not have the forced migration problem like the west has and the problems it has created.. They kicked out the Rothschild central bankers and many of those in DC that want to destroy Russia are of the Jewish faith like Victoria Nuland and have an axe to grind for what happened to their ancestors their generations ago. Russia won't become a victim and that's why the ruling class in DC hates the country so much. Russia stands up for itself and won't let woke western values destroy their nation.
What an excellent post, thanks! Everything you say is true, not just for the US, but also for many other Western countries, including my own, Chile. In chile fortunately there is no hatred towards Russia. The US hates Russia because it is the power which has put a limit to their hegemony. They cannot accept that they are less powerful than Russia, and also equal or less powerful than China! But the plan for an Oligarch Centrally Planned World Government is being implemented in most of the West.
You should be a guest on a podcast. When the Cold War ended, 90-91, the US had no enemy to maintain a bi -polar world. Desert Storm was a diversion to give the massive NATO army some ass to kick before being downsized to peacetime size. Then the US becomes the sole superpower and we get a uni-polar world, along with hyper-globalization, NAFTA, WTO, China and lots of profits for Wall St.
Good analysis. America is a plutocracy that controls the media and government. It dislikes Russia and China because they are not plutocracies and challenge their hegemony. Britain is now the same. The politicians are all rich and dislike the people but pretend otherwise that can be seen in their anti working class legislation. I see the same signs in Australia. It seems the WEF has its tentacles everywhere
That is a pretty good summary of the changes in America.
I recommend the article: "It is a tragic mistake" by Thomas L. Friedman from an interview with George Kennan in 1998:
-"I think it is the beginning of a new cold war. I think the Russians will gradually react quite adversely and it will affect their policies."
-"Expanding NATO would be the most fateful error of American policy in the entire post-cold-war era. NATO, by its very nature, is threatening to Russia. "
-"I was particularly bothered by the references to Russia as a country drying to attack Western Europe. Don't people understand? Our differences in the Cold
War were with the Soviet Communist regime. And now we are turning our backs on the very people who mounted the greatest bloodless revolution in history to remove
that Soviet regime."
-"Of course there is going to be a bad reaction from Russia, and then (the NATO expanders)
will say that we always told you that is how the Russians are - but this is just wrong."
--As he said goodbye, Kennan added just one more thing: "This has been my life, and it pains me to see it so screwed up in the end."
Except that many if not most of the soviet elites maintained their power and wealth post the collapse by robbing the state blind, and only those that opposed Putin was killed/exiled/removed. A regime with a different name, somewhat different law but without much guarantee, and with the same people running the damn place doesn't suggest that much of a supposed "bloodless revolution"
I knew George Kennan quite well. This was in the 1970s when I worked as a research assistant at Kennan Institute for Advanced Russian Studies. He was a great Man
and he knew and understood Russia as very few do today.
Almost like a prophecy that has come to pass.
George Kennan was a Prophet! He must be spinning in his grave right now...
As a result of "the greatest bloodless revolution in history" millions of people died. The West showed it's humanism once again
Greed and evil lives in the US and these two tentacles drive the core US's policies.

Why does US hate Muslims?
Well said.
you have the answer for everything. you are the 2nd coming.
Nonsense
This is probably the best explanation of the lead in to the current situation that I have heard by anyone. Thank you!
welcome
Thank you Dr. Brovkin for such a concise commentary.
Glad it was helpful!
Antony Sutton and Carroll Quigley wrote books about it.
In the end it was always about controlling Eurasia, and Russia as a large and powerful nation was first in the way of the British Empire and later the US (like Germany to a lesser extent). Look up "Mckinder Heartland theory".
Exactly.
There are messianic reasons too. The Anglo-$axons fear Russia will eventually have a footprint in Palestine.
Yes, for the sea powers to dominate the world, the land powers must be at perpetual war with each other. Halford Mackinder formulated his Heartland theory in 1904. Almost every major conflict since then can be explained by it. First, Russia and (greater) Germany must stay divided (else you get resources with economic strength), currently Russia and China cannot join forces for the same reason. It also explains all the wars in the Middle East. The point is that this geopolitical strategy is by now known by all parties involved and the land powers are joining forces in the BRICS+, or Global South. It's all part of the decline of the USA, which has been the global superpower for the last 100 years, which is about the life span of a global superpower, historically speaking. Let's hope the transition to a multipolar world will be somewhat peaceful.
Why you did not mention the bombing of Serbia by the NATO?😮
I should have, sorry
Not to mention the Chinese Embassy. This was a much bigger deal than Americans realize.
You don’t understand, it’s different, its for demokkkracy. Not all bombs are the same breed, the murican ones always got the UN approved seal for killing
Maybe because it isn’t totally relevant to the topic at hand?? It’s important, but there are many NATO atrocities. Not going to mention all of them.
It's a huge topic, he was bound to miss some events
I'm 62. I am American. I/we were rinsed to fear and hate Russia 🇷🇺 from first grade, our parents did too. They watched the news away from the kids. But we knew Russia Bad. So we've been programmed. Where are you from, not to understand this?
Let's start opening eyes 🎉❤😊
Not true. We were raised to love our country and believe in it. I never have nor will I ever fear russia. Believe or leave. The border is still open ginger.
Thank you so much, Dr. Brovkin, for producing this important video. It should be required viewing for all those who seek to understand the underlying motivations for the destructive actions undertaken by the collective west with respect to Russia and the causes of the conflict in Ukraine. I look forward to your future videos.

Спустя двадцать лет, к мне пришло желание выучить какой-то slavic language. Выбрал русский, посетил несколько уроков в университете, потом решил что, единственный способ полностью выучить язык и ещё, узнать правду по поводу жизни и культуры русского народа -- это переехать туда.
С 2013 - 2016 я жил в Красноярске, и работал учителем английского и в качестве переводчика. Почти самого по себе изучал и язык и ваши политические/исторические мнение.
Каждый раз, когда имел шанс разговаривать со всеми людьми вокруг, или получить опыт на том, как русские живут на самом деле.. не только в публике, ещё как они живут за городом, как они относятся на самом деле к своему государстве/своей позиции в мире.. каждый раз я мог стараться жить и думать так, как вы.. я сразу принимал всё.
..все что могу сказать, это Russians have an amazing openness when you break down their first suspicions at first meeting. Many working class people live day to day, month to month, yet they are often well read, well rounded people who appreciate their rich literature and music and history.. and not all of them agree with Putin just as much as they have a right to criticise the West.
Americans fail to be educated on the fact that actually, Russia won world war II for the world. They lost at minimum 60 million people, then had to deal with Stalin era, constant belligerence from NATO and a never ending threat of war from US.
The only thing Soviet and Russian leaders asked (besides joining NATO twice which the US vetoed) was to not move missiles one step closer to Russian border.
And what has US done since beginning of cold war and even after with State Dept presence in Eastern Europe? Try and thwart and subvert Russian politics, economy and alliances.
Thank you for making this video. There is a long way to go in breaking the propaganda that holds American minds hostage. There could easily be a great brotherhood between US and Russia as both peoples just want their country to be respected on world stage and their lives made a bit more richer if their respective governments would stop stealing all of it from them!!
thank you for your story, wonderful experience
Only 60 millions? May be 600 millions?
The only commonality of the old so called Eastern Europe was they wanted the Ruskies to go home. They went and the life has improved so greatly over there so the Ukrainians wanted the same.
_"from Russia will someday come the hope of the world"_
-- Edgar Cayce circa 1930's
"One of his most popular predictions, which has yet to come true, concerns Soviet Russia. He foresaw not only the death of communism, but also the birth of a new Russia that would be the hope of the world. It is not what was once called communism or Bolshevism. No. It is not. It is about freedom, freedom! It is about the freedom of every man living for his fellow man. The idea was born there. It takes years to crystallize. But the hope of the world comes again from Russia." "Cayce was almost obsessed with the fate of Russia. The world's most hopeful future, he said in the darkest days of Stalin's dictatorship, depended on Russia's religious development. Then he or those closer to him (i.e. Russia) will be better off in the gradual changes and in the final negotiation of the terms of who, for example, should rule the world. Here, under the yoke of oppression (alluding to the tsarist times), another extreme has appeared. As long as there is no freedom of speech, as long as the right to worship one's god according to the laws of one's own conscience is not guaranteed, turmoil will always be present in the country. "

Putin itself means: "Path", also mean Destiny, fate and other similar words, Vladimir means "ruler, King or leader", so... The Destiny surely has twice or three things to Say about Russia and Putin.
Vladimir Putin could mean: "the ruler that show the path" or "The choiced one", "The legislator" I'm sure that Putin is in his position for something beyond that the human choices, relations and polítics, God, Destiny or something like that has something to do.

So from all accounts, Putin is not the problem but Joe Biden
probably
Mr. Putin was never a problem.
He is a fantastic man ❤
It's more than Biden. 100% of the Democrat leadership and 70% of the Republican leadership are the same and then there are innumerable "think tanks" and PACs and university departments that are run by neo-cons. It doesn't matter which particular flavor of economic system you believe in or any of the other "divides" in the US or Europe. That's what makes me suspicious that the source is extranational.
Joe Biden isn't a problem he is a tool for Jews.
Absolutely. Great analysis and history education.

As a late 80s Soviet Studies degree holder, I wholeheartedly agree with your historical analysis of post-Soviet Russo-Western relations and the ramifications thereof. I would add to this that the anachronistic anti-Soviet NATO politico-military institution should have been disbanded following the collapse of the Soviet Union and replaced with or transformed into a GENERAL EUROPEAN SECURITY AGREEMENT THAT INCLUDED RUSSIA. i believe that you have touched upon some of, but not all of the important reasons and drivers that prevented this from happening.
I deal more extensively with these issues in my book: From Lenin to Putin
@@vladimirbrovkin4052 Thank you, Vladimir, for the suggestion to read your book. I grew up during and have lived throughout almost the entirety of the Cold War. I learned the Russian language to virtual fluency during the 1980s and also studied Soviet military policy in Yale Graduate School under former Carter & Reagan National Security Agency Director, the late Gen. William Odom, ret., in 1990. I also visited Russia for a month in 2012, not as a tourist, but actually lived daily, attending local open mic events, etc, among the St. P., Moscow, and Kursk communities, the latter being quite close to the Ukrainian border and also the site, as I'm sure you know all too well, of the tremendous WWII tank battle that essentially settled the inevitable strategic outcome of the Great Patriotic War/Ostfront. In my entire life, I have NEVER seen so much U.S. manufactured anti-Russian, anti-Putin sentiment and paranoia as now exists in America and in Western Europe, at least among the Neo-Con oriented leaderships. The U.S. and European leaders refuse to look at their own extremely aggressive involvement in fabricating and escalating this entirely unnecessary and very dangerous confrontation with the Russians. I certainly agree with the critical distinction you make between prior U.S. attitudes towards the Soviet Union versus current attitudes towards the newly re-constituted great power status of post-Soviet Russia. Thank goodness that some extremely enlightened scholars such as yourself, Jeffrey Sachs, and John Mearsheimer, et. al, who all seem to be gaining some traction with the U.S. and European public about what has really been going on with this all-too important international matter. Best wishes to you, Sir, and I certainly plan to read your book.

In the 80s I had numerous instructors who had an intimate hands-on personal knowledge of Soviet and Russian affairs. They all had the capacity to analyze the subject matter, with a certain fair-minded scientific objectivity so as to understand and empathize with the Russian collective point-of-view, but, at the same time, without being swallowed up by that point-of-view, not to mention their not at all having been indoctrinated by the traditional home-grown American anti-Russian biases based on ignorance, the various naturalized East European emigre historical anti-Russian hatreds, and/or the usual vested, self-serving American politico-economic interests that perpetuate anti-Russian policies until this very day.
Thanks for candid presentation, I have come to admire and respect President Putin for his unflenching determination to see Russia regains respect, as you rightly said Putin brought Russia from the dead literally speaking, he puts Russia people first, it's not for money as the wants everyone to think, I wish we in America have a president, Senate and Congress that will put Americans first and not corporations, putting a yoke of school fees around the neck of our children and grandchildren, thank you very much

True
Thank you Dr. Vladimir Brovkin.
most welcome
Thank you Dr. Brovkin. This is a much needed explanation.
I was a US Navy pilot during the cold war and was very much against Russia and President Putin until Dec. 2021 when I saw the Russian Army lining up on the Ukraine border. I am retired and had lots of time to study Russia, Ukraine and President Putin. Probably a couple of hours every day for months. My perspective changed 100%. My mind had to go fast forward from my 1980s thinking to 2021 and I became an admirer of President Putin and the Russian people. I now listen to all of his speeches and wish that we had a leader like him in the US. I love Putin's new year's eve speeches and his Christian faith. The US could have easily made Russia and ally for good in the world, but we didn't.
The Bible says to love God and love others.
How does that apply to a Nation?
For me it means have some respect and empathy for their perspective on life and try to help each other for the sake of humanity as God would desire.
Blessings to President Putin and the Russian people from the US.
Thank you sir for your fantastic video which I will share with others.
thank you very much. My next video will be on Putin and his career
@@vladimirbrovkin4052 Awesome. That will be a fascinating video. I have studied him. What I find fascinating is how he came to faith as best as I understand it.
Wow🇷🇺
Now you are a deceived Chamberlin
@@KellyJK07 Chamberlain: Total nonsense based on zero facts. Putin is not trying to take over any Country. He doesn't even want Ukraine. He has taken the parts of Ukraine where the Kiev regime has been attacking Ukraines that have been there for decades and even Centuries that speak the Russian language. That part of Ukraine he will keep so Kiev doesn't continue their ethnic cleansing which began in 2014. If you are getting your information from the media or Biden then you are deceived. This in fact happens in every war. You need to dig deeper. But I doubt you are willing to study because if you were you would have already done so and its is obvious from your comment that you have not. Your preconceived bias has left you blind.
Cause Russia has honor , dignity , cultur , respect , religion , real politicans and stands whit its words.
A Boy Scout is thrifty, clean, obedient, cheerful, reverent, blah blah blah. You make Russia sound like the "Boy Scout" of nations, which it is not. There IS none.
Great explanation, greetings from Chile.

I think western (as opppsed to merely American) hatred for Russia goes deeper than the revival of Russia after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Europeans often say Russians are not European (you can even see this in the comments section of videos). Sometimes they put it as Russians not having European values. Europeans see Russians as Asiatic, "contaminated" by Asian blood, and that Russia is an ill wind blowing from the Asiatic east. This is racist at its root, even though Russians are largely white.
I think Americans also have a bit of this racism toward Russians. But there is more. According to economist Richard Wolff, socialism didn't have such a bad name pre-World War II. But capitalists were anti-organized labor, and they went about portraying socialism and communism as existential threats. And they succeeded.
My contribution to what Vladimir says was automatically and mindlessly censored.
if they don’t have villains they can’t be heroes so if there is no villain they have to make one up.
Russians, Serbians are always portryed negativly in western media. The common denominator is Orthodoxy. Back in the 90's some Us polititiam has asked:
Why in every conflict between Orthodox Christians and muslims USIs alwas on the side of muslims? Somalia Serbia, Cyprys, Russia/ Chechnya Egypt,..
Toddlers have imaginary friends. Adults have imaginary enemies to keep them in power.
Thank you Profº Brovkin!
glad you liked it
Fantastic narrative! Just stumbled upon this you tube channel. Kudos!
Much appreciated!
It's so crazy to hate Russia.
they genocide their neighbours and threaten every country East of UA with the violence and hell , totalitarianism of the Russkii Mir . . . . . . . . . . .
NO THANKYOU TO Russian imperial expansion --- i don't want to live as a slave , occupied by peasants with a slave mentality
I don't hate Russia. I certainly don't hate the Russian people. And even the government is better than most. At least they are defending their own people and their culture, history, identity, sovereignty, etc. The globalist oligarchs who rule the West are drunk with power, hate their own people, and want to rule the entire planet.
I'm not surprised. The question should be why they hate the whole world? The longer you live in this society the more you are disgusted. The west is simply evil.
It's other countries resources that America wants.
They have no interest in spreading democracy and what gives them the right anyway. They should mind their own business.
Yes, and develop their own resources, which the USA has plenty.
Many Americans also feel this way! But think about it the Brits do not have many resources and rumour has it the Empire still controlled America even after the Revolution of Independence. The Banks of London! Also shadow 💰💰💰💰Why hasn’t America invaded Canada for its numerous resources? Because it’s really still a British Colony of sorts. The crown owns most of Canada land you know!
Excellent analysis of all the events that led up to the hatred of Putin & the Russian people. So very clear &easy to follow. I will continue to watch & folliw your observations.🕊️❤️🕊️🌎🕊️🙏🕊️

On point! Thank you.
A beautiful and clear story about the development of modern Russia
very informative, thanks Professor !
A further question is how did WW2 morph into the Cold War? We had been allies during WW2, enjoying reasonable levels of cooperation. So what did Stalin do or not do, that triggered this reaction? The only answer i can find, is that the USSR demonstrated that it had overcome the turmoil of the post revolution years, won the war on the Eastern front and had emerged as a cohesive, unified nation of formidable industrial and technical capacity.

You are absolutely right

"When the situation changes, I change my mind". - John Maynard Keynes ( the American establishment did not )
Unfortunately, Keynes is part of the problem. It's neo-Keynesian economics that's seducing the US into starting wars.
Very good explanation.
thanks
Vladimir, I am so glad I found your channel. I felt I needed to know what is happening because I feel in my heart I am being sold a lie. All I can say is "thank you so, so much" I really needed your insight and facts about what is really all behind this. I have subscribed to your channel because I really respect what you have to say. Keep up the good work my friend. Your insights are pure gold.
You are so welcome. I am happy to hear that
it is something to do with Great Britain
The British ruling elite have ALWAYS despised Russia, going back centuries.
Professor, I wonder if the deeply ingrained Russophobia in the "West" does not go back to the breakup of the Byzantium Empire from which time Russia and Moscow in particular become the center of Orthodoxy and the capital of the Slavic world. Indeed a moment when being Slav and Orthodox became fused.
In a short-handed way one could say that of course not all Orthodox are Slav, but all Slavs are Orthodox.
In subsequent centuries, Roman Catholicism attempted to re--enter Orthodox lands -largely driven by Germanic and Austro-Hungarian expansion, and successfully did so in Poland, and in some of the western regions of what is today the territory of the Ukraine.
Philosopher Dugin and Dostoevsky thought along the lines you described here. There are also those like Hunson the economist who believe that the West Catholicism split from original Christianity and distorted it beyond recognition and that is the source of the Western narcisism and disdain to the Orthodox East.
Tk you. so interesting. I know that you are busy and have lots to do. I am grateful that you took time to send these helpful observations and perspectives@@vladimirbrovkin4052
The Anglo-$axons & their vassals are motivated by messianic reasons to fight Russia. They fear the Byzantine Empire will eventually have a footprint in Palestine.
Yes, (((they've))) always hated Christ and his Holy Orthodox Church for 2000 years. It's that ugly and that simple.
I made a list of all the times the West invaded Russia. I could find 31 times in the last 1000 years but there are probably more. That's once every generation. Any time somebody wants to steal Russian resources, they pull out the excuse that all Russians are evil thugs and use that as justification. It's traditional in the West. We also use that to call Russians paranoid when it's a reasonable response to the way the West talks and then acts. I haven't believed anything a Western leader says since the 1960s so I must be paranoid too.
Very clear, accurate and 100% true! Thanks.
I don't hate no Russian folk. I've met many, always good people.❤
Spread some love people.
thanks
God bless Putin!…. I am American and ashamed of our stupidity and evilness
thank you for your comment
🙏❤
I’m American also and I think Putin is the best leader Russia has had and I am very concerned about who won. The world is going to take over when his time is up. thank God he’s in good health, but I always have thought he was a wonderful leader there and at least after he had been in office a couple years and he’s extremely popular in Russia.. as an American most Americans don’t like the American establishment and the political elite or bureaucracy, etc. etc. and anybody who is a warmonger. We are technically isolationist and we got enough of her own problems going on here and unless somebody attacks us they are OK. If they attack us, then we go after them, and they die for it.. we shouldn’t have been in Afghanistan, so long, and after Obama had found Osama bin Laden and had him killed, the Americans really should have pulled out if they already established in Afghanistan army already, but there wasn’t so much necessary because they weren’t gonna be able to keep their country together anyway. Six months later, we’re spending more money and more money in Ukraine.. call bless you and I hope and pray you don’t have any younger sons are brothers because the last thing I want is what Senator Lindsey Graham just proposed in starting a draft of young men 27 & younger. It’s so funny because he’s attended a couple of Trump rallies and at least two recently and I was watching a bit of the last one and he was introduced as being somebody a little on the left and everybody’s eyes got really big behind the former president and then when Lindsay came on the stage, everybody booed Lindsay😂 I don’t think any American in their right mind wants war.
Those politicians are letting you down
I am English and ashamed that Boris Johnson acting as US lapdog went and stopped peace negotiations.
Thank you so much Dr Brovkin.
You are very welcome
The US establishment is roughly 90 % jewish. Historically, in the 10th century the Khasars who were of jewish faith (but with no link to Jerusalem or Israel) were defeated on the battlefield by a Russian king. Then in 1917 there was this infamous bolshevik communist revolution with the aim of taking over the large rich country. Since then we had USSR again with jewish elites in the positions of power. Mysteriously, in 2000 when Putin rose to power he managed to free Russia from the grip of most jewish oligarchs who had controlled trade, foreign policies and gold. This is the short answer to the question raised in the video.
very interesting approach
Bingo. Here's a guy who gets it. The truth that few dare speak, yet which must be spoken to get to the root of this insane hostility that threatens all our lives.
@@black_eagle Recommended reading: Douglas Reed's "The Controversy of Zion", Robert Wilton's "The Fall of Russia" and of course Henry Ford's "International Jew"
I don’t think this is Jewish. Sure, the ethnic heritage is there but that’s because they’re all raised with good knowledge of how to make money. But the fact is that secularism is the most pre-dominant religion in the west today, and the Jews have their promised land again. They don’t really need much else, but the American elites who control the strongest country in the entire world never wanted to lose that title as they had gotten used to it, they want their power.
The Bolshevik revolution in 1917 was backed by Zionist Jews. Millions of Christians were slaughtered. Why isn’t this mentioned in history books? Etc. But “6” million Jews are constantly being mentioned. ?
Can you make a video on
1. Why the West hates Putin
2. Putin’s success in transforming Russia - His achievements
there is a video on why the US elites hate Putin. Check a few back, recently. As to his achievements, good idea will do
He put the pendos in their place and armed Russia. Now the entry of American troops into our territory or our zones of influence will cause cheerful rage among the Russians. We have long wanted to see what the vaunted Rambos are worth...
@@vladimirbrovkin4052 thank you
@@vladimirbrovkin4052 Magnitsky & influence of Browder would be interesting.
Thank you so much for your video. I appreciate that you provide an avenue to find a factual account as opposed to so many untrue truths espoused by so many so called experts.
That's exactly the reason why US also has problems with China and Iran. Cannot see strong and INDEPENDENT nations, despite all the problems they might have internally.
Threat to US hegemony. International Law taking a far second place to the US's "Rules Based Order", where only the US can make the rules, and change them for US's benefit at will.
China wants to usurp the top spot on the world stage from the U.S. This threat actually made sense from the American perspective and it’s mostly between those two superpowers to decide who wins.
Iran is like Saudi Arabia, but they’re not our puppets. The hostility is mostly political but I don’t support Iran because I don’t support the Islamic state in general.
Spot on.
thanks
Excellent analysis!
Western russophobia goes back to the time of Tsar Ivan IV during Russo-Polish War, when the Poles started spreading stories to the west about "savage asiatic hordes" to prevent any potential support of Russia. Another peak resulted from Napoleon' propaganda campaign which vilified Russia in the same way in the run-up to 1812; and this was taken up, in all its particulars, by the west after Napoleon's defeat - which was lead by Russia - when Russia was seen to be "too strong"... The origins of Prof. Brovkin's thesis go back centuries...
Have you seen the men they send to Ukraine, lmao? Like 30% are Asiatics
Excellent perspective, thank you.
welcome
Good analysis. It is Senator John Mcain who described Russia as a gaz station masquarading as a country
It's a bit hironic from a scottish descendant who lives in a country founded somewhat 500 years later than Moscow...
McCain demeaned Russia as it was part of his hawkishness. He thought it could easily be overthrown. Bye-without-the-Good to that warmonger
@@gabrieleguerrisi4335 about 630 years later.
A coward and rat
With that statement McCain is an ignoramus who knows nothing of Russia’s history!
Excellent presentation of truth! "Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, if ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free..." John 8: 31-32
thank you
I learned a good deal reading the books of the late Stephen F. Cohen -- and pleased to have stumbled on your channel. Very difficult to find ANY intelligent, informed, and fair-minded discussion of Russian history and President Putin in the West at the moment. Thank you.
(It's the likes of Timothy Snyder and Anne Applebaum -- and much worse -- that are promoted 24/7 as experts on Russian history.) ☹
im a 23 year old American born in California, my dad and grandpa both served, gramps served in the pacific front fighting Japs, pops was desert storm. I was always brought up in a common sense, realistic, conservative household which i learned way too much about the Militaries industrial Complexs corruption and how they truly make their money. Id say 80% of Americans dont understand American politicians care more about their cash flow rather than a stable relationship. Vietnam, Iraq, Iran, From Ho Chi to Ghaddafi and Saddam, then Osama Bin Laden. All of which were fabricated lies for the american people to support a full blown invasion of another country for its resources and "strategic importance" Its crazy because this shit goes all the way back to the 50s over 70 years ago, and there is so much shit you can and will get tangled up in every fucking rabbit hole because they all go deep down to hell which youll never bring yourself out of because once you learn you cannot unlearn it
