Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Anti-Russian sentiment" in English language version.
In the case of Russians, Nazi willingness to compromise was limited. The reason lay in part in long-standing anti-Russian sentiments in the German population, but also in the destiny assigned to Russians by the Nazi strategy of attaining living space: their cities and industry were to be destroyed to make way for German rural settlements. According to the Generalplan Ost, the Russian population was to be largely resettled beyond the Ural mountains. Yet here, too, German policy stopped short of complete destruction. In 1941, Hitler gave strict orders that Russians were not to be used as soldiers, yet by the end of the war tens of thousands were fighting on the German side. The breakdown of his injunction was gradual and opportunistic: first, German troops began using Russian POW's as helpers of all kinds and learned that giving better rations resulted in better work. As early as 1941, these Hilswillige were used for guard and police functions, then as soldiers. Beginning in 1941, the Nazis offered land grants to "Eastern soldiers"—many of them Russian—who had distinguished themselves in service. These compromises were necessitated by the fact that the German military and administrative presence was insufficient to oversee the local population
Russian officials, including Yeltsin and Kozyrev, have even used the term "ethnic cleansing" to describe Latvian and Estonian policies, despite the total absence of inter-ethnic bloodshed.
Not a single Russian or Jew has ever been wounded or killed for political, nationalistic or racist reasons during the new independence of Latvia.
But no one died in the Baltics in the 1990s from ethnic or other political fighting, except for those killed by Soviet troops in 1990–1991.

Some attacks on Russians and others perceived to be Russian, have been criminal. A Russian Orthodox Church in Calgary, Canada was splattered with red paint on Feb. 26.
Pozner also claimed that mainstream journalists in both the U.S. and Russia contributed to the formation of the negative opinions the citizens of both countries have of each other.
