He drew attention to the fact that, apart from the western Russophobia there was an „internal” Russian Russophobia. An important part of it became the so‑called „Polish elements” as the result of the unresolved of the most accurate issues of the internal policy of Russia – the Polish question. The article presents the views of Russian journalism of those times on this topic. The works of F. H. Duhinski and J. Piłsudski are presented as examples of Polish Russophobia.
