Can you give an example where Russia is portrayed unfairly?

Not sure why you're getting downvoted. That's an awful story.

I too am interested in examples. Typically, instead I see straw man “western governments do bad things too” to deflect.

You may start with this article https://medium.com/@dominicbasulto/russophobia-and-the-dark-...

It has some great images, especially in the final part.

I think I read similar piece when they tried to shuffle their shooting of MH-17 and point the finger on Ukraine. Turns out to be propaganda as well.

That's negative portrayal of a violent corrupt dictatorship.

It started long before Putin and long before communists.

But things changed - Russia is much more known - while something remained the same - perception of the threat. Only now there are causes for that, so the article isn't accurate, portraying West as being "unnaturally" negative to Russia. West is negative for specific reasons, something which the article fails to address.

Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper on Russians in 2017:

"...the Russians, who typically, almost genetically driven to co-opt, penetrate, gain favor..." [1]

Says the habitual liar James Clapper who verifiably lied under oath several times.

Was he punished for it?
Re:The Suspected Poisoning of Alexey Navalny, Putin’s Most P... by m0zg on Friday August 21, 2020 @08:03AM (#24234157)
Of course not. None of these deep state fucks are ever punished for anything.

Any action movie where the bad guys are stereotypical Russians? The way Russians and their culture are disparaged in media? I remember reading a WaPo article where some old lady was telling political canvassers to fuck off, and the entire time the article was fixating on her "Russian accent" and saying things like "this isn't russia we have democracy here". Really despicable racism.
