Abstract
The article examines and analyzes the causes and course of development of the “culture of cancellation” and Russophobia as socio-political and cultural-ideological phenomena. Their historical roots and prerequisites for wide distribution both in the West and in Russia are briefly investigated. The key elements of the concepts of “Russophobia” and “cancellation culture”, as well as correlations for the main political, social, ideological and cultural parameters are established. The alleged prospects for the development of Russophobia as a manifestation of the “culture of cancellation” as a political tool of the “collective West” are determined.
