This chapter discusses the development of anti-Orthodox and anti-Russian sentiment in France. It explains the anti-Orthodox and anti-Russian sentiment after 1830 within the context of the schools of thought that divided French Catholics in the nineteenth century and the geopolitical tensions between France and Russia. It analyzes Russia's place in the European schema that has been a question at the forefront of the minds of European rulers, statesmen, clergy, intellectuals, political radicals, and revolutionaries since Peter I. The chapter addresses how the questions on Russia's place produced a presupposition of some kind of dichotomous relationship between Russia and the West. It also mentions the Slavophile–Westerner debate among nineteenth-century Russian intellectuals, which perceives Russia's relation to the West dichotomy as a construction of Russian intellectuals.Less

This chapter examines the history of the poputnichestvo or the fellow-travelling phenomenon of Polrealism and the Polish October in 1956. It explains that the Polish October had far-reaching consequences for the political stance of Poland and that its acceptance meant the acceptance of a new type of national interest. It also contends that literature occupied a peculiar position in this phenomenon and highlights official Polish political groups' acceptance of Polish emigrants' claim to be anti-Russian.Less

The introduction looks at the importance of geopolitical borders for Nordic cinematic constructions of the neighbouring countries that lay behind the Iron Curtain. Offering an overview of rich depictions of Russia and Eastern Europe from the silent film era to the end of the Cold War, the chapter traces anti-Russian and anti-Soviet sentiment in early Nordic films. The chapter elaborates on the definition of Eastern noir, within the discourse of which Russia is constructed as a crime scene and Russians (Soviets) as threatening the existence of the Nordic subjects. It draws an important distinction between representations of Russia and the other eastern neighbours in Nordic cinemas. Eastern noir is considered in relation to the currently much discussed genre of Nordic noir. The introduction also elaborates on the conceptual frame of border/boundary underlying the book’s main argument, and discusses the research scope and structure of the book.Less
