In American media, Russians are often portrayed as the enemy or "antagonists" of the "good guys." This is influenced by the historical rivalry between the Soviet Union and the US and their allies during the Cold War. Although the Cold War ended decades ago, the tendency to be suspicious of the Russian government still exists in the West.
