And France has always been synonymous of beauty, high culture, advanced technology and refinement in Russia. Our countries were allies in both world wars, and France was friendly to the people of Russia even during the Soviet era.
You forgot we were your main ally during WWII as we(along with the U.S)provided you with the most aidagainst Nazi Germany, be it technologically, militarily and materially.etc The soviet Union allied with its 2 main rivals as it had no choice even though Soviet leaders had long called the " imperialist camp" Britain and the United States.
So there is no such thing as hating or russophobe or whatever, its and has always been about INTERESTS. If our interests converge then we will be best buddies, if not then expect it to be hostile/rivalry. Geo politics has never been about how countries citizens view each other. Its about interests. Period.
For example there are western countries whose citizens view the U.S less favourably than people in China do, but are China and the U.S allies ? Lol similarly some of you may boast your love for Russia but the French government might not share your love , if not why they refused to sell the mistral to france and agreed to sanctions against Russia while also deploying fighter jets to baltic countries under NATO ? LOL
So learn to different people from government and interests. Two totally different things.
From what I can see there are 4 countries that actually hate Russia with passion - Baltic states and Poland, probably can put Romania here as well, bcs of Moldova.
But since Ukraine crisis the relations between Russia and Europe get really bad.Imo if Sarkozy is elected president, our relations will get better, not just Russo-French but with all EU as well.Tbh I really like his way of thinking about what happened in last 2 years.
Relations with the E.U were fairly good until russia intervened first in georgia then in Ukraine and it will keep trying to push further. Cant blame them thpugh, as long as its serves rheir interests who cares.....hmmmm....well apart from us since we also have interests where moscows does.
