Entire paragraphs of this page are in direct violation of Wikipedia neutrality policy. Sentences such as "Thus, the fear and distrust towards Russia has often been legitimate and has on many occasions ultimately proved accurate, such as in the case of construction of Nord Stream, in particular in the context of the contemporary Russian policy." do not only pose judgement, but are argumentative in nature. There are numerous occurrences of this. This aught to be rectified. Jerreu (talk) 20:02, 15 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Gabriele Krone-Schmalz is known for being heavily pro-Russian and a Putinversteher.
I suggest removing her part from the article:
"According to veteran German author, journalist and Russia-correspondent Gabriele Krone-Schmalz, there is deep disapproval of everything Russian in Estonia. A poll conducted by Gallup International suggested that 34% Estonians have a positive attitude towards Russia, but it is supposed that survey results were likely impacted by a large ethnic Russian minority in the country. However, in a 2012 poll only 3% of the Russian minority in Estonia reported that they had experienced a hate crime (as compared to an average of 10% among ethnic minorities and immigrants in EU)."

Keep--bias is a problem when editors show it. On this topic most reliable sources have a bias oneway or another. In this case it is factual report on a Gallup Poll. Rjensen (talk) 13:55, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Reading this, it's easy to have the impression that it was mostly written with pro-russian bias. Only the small part mentions that "Russophobia" is sometimes used by Russia as narrative to cover up the fact that some of the alleged "phobia" is just natural reaction to Russian imperialism.
This section should be longer, as "Russophobia" is infact mostly a phobia of Russian imperialism coming from eastern European nations that were abused.
Imagine an article about "British empire phobia", as British Empire was at many levels similar to Russian Empire when it comes to colonizing, just not over seas.
I'm pretty sure that article about "British-phobia" would mostly consist of the argumentation that British phobia was mostly natural reaction to British imperialism and exploitation.
It's sad that Russian imperialism is not regarded as serious imperialism in the West, because of thinking among the lines that Russia was not imperialistic, because "they didn't have oversea colonies, and later they had communism so they must love equality", etc... 46.204.100.225 (talk) 02:13, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
