      title = {Russophobia : propaganda in international politics /},
      abstract = {Propaganda is the science of convincing an audience  without appealing to reason. Over the past centuries,  anti-Russian propaganda has been founded on juxtaposing the  West and Russia as European versus Asiatic, civilized  versus barbaric, modern versus backward, liberal versus  autocratic, and even good versus evil. Russia has therefore  throughout history been allowed to play one of two roles --  either an apprentice of Western civilization by accepting  the subordinate role as the student and political object,  or a threat that must be contained or defeated. While  propaganda has the positive effect of promoting unity and  mobilizing resources against an adversary, it has the  negative effect of creating irrational decision-making and  obstructing a workable peace. Glenn Diesen is a Professor  at the University of South-Eastern-Norway.},
