Russia is the most vast country in the world, but across the Eurasian continent it also has many enemies, Europe and the United States and other countries are not pleasing to his eyes, let people curiously, if in the last century, Russia's predecessor soviet union because of ideological problems and Europe and the United States in a hostile relationship, then why has today's Russia has become a capitalist country, Europe has never taken him as its own brother? Even before the establishment of the Soviet Union, Europeans were also very disgusted with Russia, in fact, if we understand the history of Russia, we can understand why they did not deal with Russia.
First of all, there is the issue of race, the Russian nation belongs to the Slavic race, they are in the Eastern European belt, they are considered to be uncivilized barbarians by the Romans who established the glorious Roman Empire, and in Eastern Europe a thousand years ago, living conditions, science and technology are far from the splendid Western European civilization.
Moreover, although the area of Eastern Europe is extensive, but the climate is harsh, the permafrost layer is not suitable for growing crops, because of the lack of food and other problems, the Slavs often enter the Central European river basin to plunder, which also makes many people have a bad impression of the Slavs.
Compared with the Slavs, the Anglo-Saxons and Germanic bloods in Britain are very close, and the Dutch, Austrians, and French are originally branches of the Germanic people, so they are obviously more rejecting the Slavic peoples, and Hitler in world war II wrote "Mein Kampf" in prison, he regarded the Slavs as the same "inferior people" as the Jews, and believed that the Germans should expand to Eastern Europe to welcome their own land of survival. This became an important reason why he insisted on attacking the Soviet Union in the future.
The second reason is religion, although russians and Europeans are Christians, but they believe in one of the three major schools of Christ, the Orthodox Church, which was once regarded as a heretical existence by the Catholic Western Europe, and in the 5th century AD, the Western European Holy See decided to unilaterally expel the Orthodox Near Eastern Fringe Religion, but the Orthodox Church continued in Constantinople of the Eastern Roman Empire, but for hundreds of years, Catholics naturally did not have a good feeling for the Orthodox Church.
The third reason is about the expansion of the Russian Empire, in history, the predecessor of the Russian Empire was the centralized state established by Archduke Ivan III in the 15th century, the Grand Duchy of Moscow, under the leadership of Ivan IV, Moscow successively carried out the Eastern Expedition and annexed many surrounding areas, so in 1547 Ivan IV proclaimed himself Tsar, the name of the country was Russia.
Under the conquest of Ivan IV and his descendants, Bauekaterina and others, the Volga Valley, Siberia and Ukraine successively joined the Russian Empire, making it a multi-ethnic country, and for hundreds of years, Russia's desire for territory and its rise of chauvinism also made European countries wary.
Today, Russia is still not a Western country in the traditional sense, and its confrontation with the United States, Britain, France and other countries is still ongoing.
