Russophilia is the love of Russia and/or Russians. The term is used in two basic contexts: in international politics and in cultural context. "Russophilia" and "Russophilic" are the terms used to denote pro-Russian sentiments, usually in politics and literature.
Russophilia in Western culture
Love to Russians (or at least admiration) in Western culture is often based on stereotypes, as expressed, e.g., by American author Robert Alexander: "I love Russians for their dramatic, emotional nature. They're not afraid to love, not afraid to get hurt, not afraid to exaggerate or act impulsively."
Moscowphilism (Russophilia) in Western Ukraine
Moscowphilism (Russophilia) (Ukrainian: Москвофільство) is a linguistic, literary and socio-political movement in Western Ukrainian territories of Galicia, Transcarpathia and Bukovyna in 18th - 20th centuries. Proponents of this movement believed in linguistic, cultural, social union with Russian people and later in state union with Russia.
