Why Do So Many Russians Seem to Dislike the West?

Хорошая мысль:

Decades of exposure to only limited information have fostered a tendency to see a hidden, guiding hand in the many calamities that have befallen the world, and Russia in particular. Although few people believed in the censored press in Soviet times, Putin’s censored press enjoys an astonishing degree of credibility. But that is because it successfully transplants the skepticism and distrust that characterized popular views of the Soviet domestic press onto the Western press. Disbelief and suspicion of foul play are undiminished, only now they have found a new target. Ironically, CIA-funded stations such as Voice of America and Radio Liberty were once considered mouthpieces of truth; now independent media such as the New York Times and Reuters are seen as agents of Washington.

Они еще бы вспомнили, что поведение The West тоже способствовало росту недоверия.
Для меня доверие кончилось весной 99 года. А осенью того же года пропали шансы его вернуть.

Да, способствовало.
