We must be talking at cross-purposes. All your statements can be true and uncontroversial, and still not be resposible for the groundswell of hatred towards Rus

  The feelings were always there but the cost was too high to do something about it. Now that the cost is already paid, there is no reason to hold them back. Lets not forget that there is more than enough reason for that hatred. As a European: Russia regularly kills people on our soil. We do not kill people in Russia. Russia supports extremist political groups in Europe with the sole aim to do damage. Russia runs media organizations like RT that also have no ideological orientation but will always report the take that will do the most damage to society. Russia used gas as a weapon to blackmail Europe. Already in summer 21 Gazprom reduced its supply to the spot market to increase the gas price and keep storage low. Later Gazprom rented storage facilities but kept them empty..... Russia buys politicians like Orban to weaken and disintegrate EU and NATO. There are many millions people in the EU who lived under and still remember the repressions of the SU and Warshaw Pact states.... Putins Russia had declared itself as an enemy of the western way of life and political order.
