Why do Russia's eastern European neighbors hate Russia?

to put it simply, it's because it's powerful.

As we all know, in the world, only Russia and China have the strength to confront the superpower America, and the strength of Russia in the military field is obvious to all in recent years.

So the first reason why Eastern Europe hates Russia is because of its military strength. Central European countries were once a part of the Soviet Union just like Russia. However, in the later period of the Soviet Union, chauvinism prevailed in big countries, and the contradictions among the States were not effectively regulated, but they were intensified (Chechen issue). The light industry in the Soviet Union was poor, but the military industry of heavy industry was absolutely strong. Russia inherited most of the technical equipment of the Soviet Union. At the same time, under the policy of the United States, Eastern Europe began to lean toward NATO and naturally formed hostile relations with Russia. And Russia's powerful military has also caused fear in eastern European countries. They urgently need the United States to ensure their own security, so they constantly show their hatred for Russia to show their camp.

the second reason why eastern Europe hates Russia is cultural. The Russian nation has its own culture different from that of Europe, and they have their own writing and language. However, cultural assimilation is the most terrible thing. Guns can defeat a nation's body, while culture can destroy a nation's spirit. The cultural output in the Soviet Union was very strong, which was very obvious when China was just liberated.

The last reason is history. Russia has been expanding since the Grand Duchy of Moscow, and conquering other nationalities has brought many disasters to others. In the early World War II, the Soviet Union and Germany conspired to carve up Poland, which also made Poland an anti-Russian Depth Charge. During the Cold War, the Soviet Union's suppression of eastern European countries made Moscow lose people's hearts. Russia inherited the Soviet Union's international status and military strength, and also inherited the historical problems left by the Soviets.

Then there will be American dissension!
