Актуальность исследования обусловлена масштабными проявлениями русофобских тенденций, ставших производными реализации американской геостратегии, обусловив вызовы и угрозы национальной безопасности Российской Федерации. Цель статьи – охарактеризовать основные тенденции русофобских проявлений в стратегических подходах Соединённых Штатов в годы первого президентского срока Д. Трампа и президентства Дж. Байдена. В качестве источников исследования были использованы: Стратегия национальной безопасности США 2017 г.; Стратегия национальной безопасности США 2022 г., Стратегия национальной обороны США 2022 г.; официальные заявления Государственного департамента Соединённых Штатов; данные средств массовой информации. В процессе исследования была обозначена проблема наличия русофобских установок в современных геостратегических подходах Вашингтона на доктринальном и практическом уровнях. Методология исследования базируется на синтезе геополитического и системного подходов в контексте парадигмы неореализма, что предопределило применение метода анализа документов, дискурс-анализа и контент-анализа. В результате исследования было обосновано, что современная гибридная война и вызванные ею масштабные проявления русофобии представляются следствием спланированных действий ведомого Соединёнными Штатами коллективного Запада, являясь инструментом геополитического сдерживания России, а в дальнейшем – её ослабления и разрушения. Обозначены примеры русофобской риторики в базовых документах, определяющих подходы в области внешней политики и национальной безопасности США. Охарактеризованы основные вызовы и угрозы национальной безопасности Российской Федерации, ставшие производными русофобского курса коллективного Запада.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The article considers the features of the US strategic course towards Russia in the context of aggravated relations. The relevance of the study is due to the large-scale manifestations of Russophobic tendencies that have become derivatives of the implementation of the American geostrategy, causing challenges and threats to the national security of the Russian Federation. The purpose of the article is to characterize the main trends of Russophobic manifestations in the strategic approaches of the United States during the first presidential term of D. Trump and the presidency of J. Biden. The following research sources have been used: the US National Security Strategy 2017; the US National Security Strategy 2022, the US National Defense Strategy 2022; official statements of the United States Department of State; media data. In the course of the research, the problem of the presence of Russophobic attitudes in Washington’s modern geostrategic approaches at the doctrinal and practical levels has been identified. The research methodology is based on the synthesis of geopolitical and systemic approaches in the context of the paradigm of neorealism, which predetermined the use of digital technologies for document analysis, discourse analysis and content analysis. As a result of the study, it was proved that the modern hybrid war and the large–scale manifestations of Russophobia caused by it appear to be the result of the planned actions of the collective West led by the United States, being an instrument of geopolitical deterrence of Russia, and in the future – its weakening and destruction. Examples of Russophobic rhetoric in the basic documents defining approaches in the field of foreign policy and national security of the United States have been outlined. The main challenges and threats to the national security of the Russian Federation, which have become derivatives of the  Russophobic course of the collective West, have been described.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>западная русофобия</kwd><kwd>геостратегия</kwd><kwd>США</kwd><kwd>Россия</kwd><kwd>геополитическое соперничество</kwd><kwd>гибридная война</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Western Russophobia</kwd><kwd>Geostrategy</kwd><kwd>USA</kwd><kwd>Russia</kwd><kwd>Geopolitical Rivalry</kwd><kwd>Hybrid War</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Буянов В.
