| Summary: | The article considers the features of the US strategic course towards Russia in the context of aggravated relations. The relevance of the study is due to the large-scale manifestations of Russophobic tendencies that have become derivatives of the implementation of the American geostrategy, causing challenges and threats to the national security of the Russian Federation. The purpose of the article is to characterize the main trends of Russophobic manifestations in the strategic approaches of the United States during the first presidential term of D. Trump and the presidency of J. Biden. The following research sources have been used: the US National Security Strategy 2017; the US National Security Strategy 2022, the US National Defense Strategy 2022; official statements of the United States Department of State; media data. In the course of the research, the problem of the presence of Russophobic attitudes in Washington’s modern geostrategic approaches at the doctrinal and practical levels has been identified. The research methodology is based on the synthesis of geopolitical and systemic approaches in the context of the paradigm of neorealism, which predetermined the use of digital technologies for document analysis, discourse analysis and content analysis. As a result of the study, it was proved that the modern hybrid war and the large–scale manifestations of Russophobia caused by it appear to be the result of the planned actions of the collective West led by the United States, being an instrument of geopolitical deterrence of Russia, and in the future – its weakening and destruction. Examples of Russophobic rhetoric in the basic documents defining approaches in the field of foreign policy and national security of the United States have been outlined. The main challenges and threats to the national security of the Russian Federation, which have become derivatives of the Russophobic course of the collective West, have been described. |
