Will the book continue?

Guy Mettan, answering journalists’ questions, said: “The West has always been and will need an“ enemy at the gates ”. Russophobia is good in order to skillfully manipulate public opinion in order to achieve its own state, economic and geopolitical goals. Sometimes they are not even directly related to Russia. And such behavior has been going on for several millennia, starting from the fall of Byzantium and the transfer of the center of Orthodoxy to Russian soil. My goal was to show examples of bias in Western judgments about Russia and to encourage fellow writers in different countries to observe journalistic norms and objectivity in evaluating events in Russia. ”

Professor Alexei Kozhemyakov supported the words of Guy Methane, in particular, recalling one French proverb. He explained: “Speaking of a distorted interpretation by the Western media of Russian reality, I want to recall the following French dictum that the angle is not what it is described, but what it really is.”
