Who will win in the struggle for the continent? Russia is strengthening its influence on the continent, unlike Europe and the United States.

‘The stronger Russia is, the stronger Russophobia is in the West’ - says the Swiss journalist and political scientist, Guy Mettan. He is one of the few whose opinion differs from the majority, which maintains that there is no such thing as Russophobia.

The journalist believes Russophobia began centuries ago. In Europe Russia was seen as a barbaric country, a weak and unstable state, incomprehensible to ‘civilised’ man.

The Bridge 'Hello, we're on our way over the bridge. We'll be there soon, Sunshine, wait.' In the 2018 film The Bridge, Irina, a pensioner from Taman, calls her sister in Kerch to say she’ll arrive for a visit in 20 minutes. The sisters rarely used to see each other, as they had to take expensive flights or long ferry rides. On May 16, four years ago, the Crimean bridge opened to cars, connecting Russia’s Krasnodar Region and Crimea across the Kerch Strait. Some 25,000 people worked on building it. The part for road transport was erected in 27 months. This 19-kilometre-long bridge is one of the largest in the country. RT Documentary followed the ambitious project with Nikolay Valuyev, a world boxing champion and member of the Russian State Duma, who lends a hand in the construction, and Alyona Sviridova, a local Kerch singer, who meets with Crimean residents for whom the bridge is a lifeline.
