The article analyzes the reasons of the historical stereotypes interfering with friendly
perception of modern Russia by West Europeans. It is concluded that multitude of the
historical plots represents the anti-Russian phobia and simplifications, having no logical
reasons. At the same time some of these stereotypes have a certain academic nature. The
point is that the development patterns of one region (Russia) are mixed with another (the
West) and general trends specific to the pre-revolutionary and Soviet periods are mixed
with modern one.
Keywords: historical patterns, theory of history, methodology of history
