Russia is depicted as Stalinist, when the audience are right wingers, and as fascist religious fanatics when the audience are progressives. (That Ukraine wholeheartedly embraces fascist narratives is conveniently left out of this last one.)

In this, russophobia resembles the antisemitism of not so long ago. Jews were depicted as bloodsucking capitalists and at the same time made out to be bomb throwing revolutionaries and pointy headed intellectuals.

Good reminders of the depths of the intricate deceptions the American people and we the people around the planet are being asked to decipher. The weight of the propaganda is extreme.
