I'm not quite sure what the context/purpose of this text... but it reads like debating notes. Each "myth" is essentially a russian grievance, debating point used by Russian apologists or Western critique of "NATO policy."
Below each myth is what reads like a suggested retort. Some are reasonable. Some are very weak.
The retort to (myth 13) - "liberaliaation & privatisation were bad for Russia" is literally: "radical policies of the early 90s did not cause economic failures of the late 90s" followed by a neoliberal version of "real communism has never been tried."
