Serbia is perceived in the West as a small, Balkan Russia”, a traditional Russian stronghold in the Balkans. The first source of Russophobia in Serbia, in the last two centuries, is certainly the trickling down of anti-Russianism from the West. Where did the Serbs get this from, given that the Russians helped us get rid of the Turks and rebuild a state, that because of us in 1914 they went to war with Austria-Hungary (and Germany), that in 1944 they helped us get rid of German Nazism, and that today they defend our claim to Kosovo, sometimes better than official Belgrade? It is “Russophobia among Serbs 1878−2017″, by Dejan Mirović. Now, in Serbia, we have a newly-published book that talks about Russia hatred in our country. The Russophobic impulse that controls American policy does not come from what the Russians do, but from who they are: Russia delenda est!” See how long it took us to get rid of the Jackson-Venik law (a law that limited trade relations with the USSR, passed in 1974 and repealed only in 2012). Sanctions imposed by Washington on Moscow would remain, and even gradually intensify. “Moscow could return Crimea to Ukraine, escort Kiev troops to Donbas on a red carpet, and hang Bashar Assad on a flagpole in Damascus. However, in the case of Russia, it is not a matter of phobia, but of deep and constant hatred – a good example was recently given by James Jatras: Phobias are irrational and unjustified fears, like being scared of a mouse when it jumps on a table (musophobia), even though it is a creature that will not eat us or bite our leg. The word “Russophobia” is in the title of all three books. Terrible Orthodox Serbs who, in terror, slaughtered a huge number of peaceful democratic Muslims and no less terrible Russian communists who destroyed democracy and freedom in Chechnya.”Įntire scholarly monographs on the West’s hatred of Russia have been written, and three of them have been translated in our country: “Russophobia: Two Paths to the Same Abyss” (translated in 1993) by Igor Šafarević “Russophobia” (translated by 2016) by Giulietto Chiesa and “Russia and the West – a Thousand Years of War: Russophobia from Charlemagne to the Ukrainian Crisis” (translated in 2017) by Guy Methane.

As one American woman of Serbian origin correctly remarked while watching TV over there, “the enemies of the Western world have been stable and unchanged for 30 years: Serbia and Russia. Serbs, at least when it comes to Eastern Europe, are not the only target of Western hatred.
And Germany, at least while Serbia’s current president was prime minister, was said to be our main Western friend.
An example is writer and Nobel Prize winner Herta Miller, Romanian-German novelist, who said publicly what most Germans think about Serbs when she endorsed the 1999 NATO bombing of Yugoslavia. Serbs got a taste of it several times in the 20th century. Formally they also are European and Christian, but they belong to a slightly different tradition and culture. However, nations belonging to the cultural domain of Eastern Christianity are sometimes genuinely amazed by the depth and intensity of hatred emanating from influential Western ideologues, some powerful institutions, and numerous “voluntary executors” of various extermination projects. Of course, not everyone in the Vatican hates, nor are all haters Catholics. It is a phrase used by the three-time Pulitzer Prize winner Thornton Wilder in his novel “The Bridge of San Luis Rey,” to describe a hatred that is strong, deep, persistent, and cruel. “Vatican hatred” is not a quote from a publication on the Croatian genocide against Serbs between 1941−1945.
