Oleg Makarenko wants to set the story straight and answer the "Russophobes" who he says are trying to split and humiliate Russia.
His website, www.ruxpert.ru, is on the front line in what Makarenko calls an information war with the West.
As President Vladimir Putin has embraced an increasingly nationalist ideology in his third term as president, evidenced by his seizing of Crimea from Ukraine, Makarenko's anti-Western ideas have become mainstream. His website, designed to be a "patriot's handbook," has mirrored and presaged Putin's thinking.
