Abstract to the book "Russia and the West: A Failed Alliance, or Confrontation as inevitability" by Stol V.V.:
In the monograph on a large historical material, little known or specially forgotten, the history of the always complex and often contradictory relations between the Countries of the West and Russia in its any state forms is considered.
Analyzing the development of their relations since the 15th century, the author puts forward a thesis about the centuries-old west's focus on the weakening, dismemberment and destruction of Russian statehood. The basis of this policy of the Western world is the competitive and alien cultural and civilizational identity of Russia, charged with global messianic energy.
The instruments of this approach were constant encroachments on the territory and resources of Russia, aggressive imposition of foreign values, alien to the national and cultural traditions of its peoples. The book is designed for a wide range of readers, especially those interested in history and politics
