Violation of Wikipedia neutrality policy[edit]

Entire paragraphs of this page are in direct violation of Wikipedia neutrality policy. Sentences such as "Thus, the fear and distrust towards Russia has often been legitimate and has on many occasions ultimately proved accurate, such as in the case of construction of Nord Stream, in particular in the context of the contemporary Russian policy." do not only pose judgement, but are argumentative in nature. There are numerous occurrences of this. This aught to be rectified. Jerreu (talk) 20:02, 15 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Biased source under Estonia´s article[edit]

Gabriele Krone-Schmalz is known for being heavily pro-Russian and a Putinversteher. I suggest removing her part from the article:

"According to veteran German author, journalist and Russia-correspondent Gabriele Krone-Schmalz, there is deep disapproval of everything Russian in Estonia. A poll conducted by Gallup International suggested that 34% Estonians have a positive attitude towards Russia, but it is supposed that survey results were likely impacted by a large ethnic Russian minority in the country. However, in a 2012 poll only 3% of the Russian minority in Estonia reported that they had experienced a hate crime (as compared to an average of 10% among ethnic minorities and immigrants in EU)."

Keep--bias is a problem when editors show it. On this topic most reliable sources have a bias oneway or another. In this case it is factual report on a Gallup Poll. Rjensen (talk) 13:55, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Common sense[edit]

This article should just redirect to Common sense. 2A02:3030:802:B5C9:1:0:38BC:893D (talk) 22:20, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Common sense is that people like you are not allowed to edit this article. 91.129.102.55 (talk) 22:04, 13 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Pro-russian narration[edit]

Reading this, it's easy to have the impression that it was mostly written with pro-russian bias. Only the small part mentions that "Russophobia" is sometimes used by Russia as narrative to cover up the fact that some of the alleged "phobia" is just natural reaction to Russian imperialism. This section should be longer, as "Russophobia" is infact mostly a phobia of Russian imperialism coming from eastern European nations that were abused. Imagine an article about "British empire phobia", as British Empire was at many levels similar to Russian Empire when it comes to colonizing, just not over seas. I'm pretty sure that article about "British-phobia" would mostly consist of the argumentation that British phobia was mostly natural reaction to British imperialism and exploitation. It's sad that Russian imperialism is not regarded as serious imperialism in the West, because of thinking among the lines that Russia was not imperialistic, because "they didn't have oversea colonies, and later they had communism so they must love equality", etc... 46.204.100.225 (talk) 02:13, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Eastern Orthodoxy[edit]

Philomathes2357, Russia has historically called itself a "protector" and "true embracer" of Eastern Orthodoxy in detriment of every other Orthodox nation. This article does not cover anything about religion and it being a motivation behind anti-Russian sentiment: it covers such sentiment in Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox and Muslim nations alike. To me including this link in the see also section is only following this game of Russia being some kind of representative of Orthodoxy, when this is everything this 217,781-bytes, 11,544-words long article has to say about Orthodoxy: In February 2022, a Russian Orthodox Church in Calgary was vandalized with red paint., On 4 March 2022, a parish of the Russian Orthodox Church in Victoria, British Columbia was painted blood red by vandals, possibly in response to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine., In October 2022, numerous threats were made towards individuals affiliated with a Russian Orthodox Church in Calgary. By the way, the article on Persecution of Eastern Orthodox Christians covers mostly Serbs and other Orthodox nations under the Ottoman Empire, there is almost nothing about Russia.

I don't see anything to gain from having this link and it risks following this game of anti-Russian sentiment being linked to anti-Orthodox sentiment when it is not, as our articles in Wikipedia show. Other articles on anti-national sentiment (Anti-British sentiment#See also, Anti-German sentiment#See also, Anti-Kurdish sentiment#See also) do not link the article on sentiment against their religion and doing so would suggest both are related. For all these reasons I insist the link be removed. Super Ψ Dro 09:15, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, and just removed the link. Rsk6400 (talk) 12:55, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
