“…For instance, Angela Merkel, who was born in 1954 in Hamburg, West Germany, spent 36 years of her life in East Germany: studied at an East German school, then studied at an East German university, and worked as a researcher at an East German educational institution 32 . While at school, Merkel studied Russian perfectly and was even awarded for her excellent Russian language skills 33 . Of course, her proficiency of the Russian language led her to be very familiar with Russian culture and the Russian press from an early age.…”

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the historical trajectory, spread, and evolution of russophilia, a sociological phenomenon that exists in contemporary Europe. The article conducts a comprehensive analysis of the developmental process of russophilia in Europe, tracing its origins from the early stages of primitive sympathy towards the Russian state during the Middle Ages to its subsequent conscious ideological-cultural and political-economic manifestations in the 20th century. Furthermore, the article examines the contemporary projection of russophilia, which reached its pinnacle in the aforementioned region during the 20th century, while also exploring the factors contributing to the current decline of russophilia. The article introduces a significant scientific contribution by being the pioneering study to comprehensively explore the historical evolution of russophilia in Europe. Previous research on russophilia has been limited in scope, with only a few articles addressing the topic in a fragmented manner. Prior to this article, there has been a lack of comprehensive studies examining the overall development of russophilia in Europe. Therefore, this article stands as the first comprehensive endeavor in this field of research, filling a notable gap in the existing literature. Conclusions. The results of the study shed light on the origins and development of russophilia in Europe, examining both Western and Eastern regions. Key factors contributing to russophilia include the influence of communism, particularly the USSR, as well as cultural expansion. Effective propaganda campaigns and the establishment of economic and social connections play crucial roles in fostering admiration for another culture. Ethnic kinship alone is insufficient to foster deep affinity without widespread and systematic propaganda integrated into state policy. Nostalgia for communism, fuelled by shared experiences and the positive aspects of former communist systems, also contributes to russophilia. Countries such as East Germany, Poland, and Serbia etc., which underwent communist rule, exhibit heightened russophilia. The common fate shared by these nations, including the same political ideology, communist culture, and perceived defeat by the capitalist USA, further strengthens russophilia sentiments among communist nostalgics.

“…Therefore, open opposition to or low support of SC would have been too risky. Second, the clash between the CDU and its more traditionalist, Bavarian 'sister', the CSU, prevented a radical departure from the male-breadwinner family model, together with the fact that SI was primarily always supported through a less divisive economic framework, compared to that of gender equality (Langguth 2007). A clear example of this intra-party clash is the home-care allowance.…”

The family policy positions of conservative parties: A farewell to the male‐breadwinner family model?

Since the Golden Age of the Welfare State ended, the male-breadwinner family model traditionally supported by conservative parties has been put under pressure. Familialism appears to be no longer attractive to a changing, more volatile constituency. By comparing four different European countries -namely, Denmark, Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom -this work investigates the evolution of the conservative parties' family policy positions in the post-Fordist era (1990s-2010s). The article has two goals. First, relying on a multidimensional theoretical framework where both social consumption and social investment policy instruments are at stake, it probes whether conservatives have switched their positions by backing de-familialism and thus the dual-earner family model. Second, it explains policy position change or stability over time and cross-country differences through a multicausal analytical framework.The content analysis of party manifestos shows that, in the post-Fordist era, the conservative parties have supported 'optional familialism', thus upholding both familiarizing and de-familiarizing measures. However, such positions are not static. In the 1990s, support for familialism was higher while, since the 2000s, there has been a constant, increasing backing of de-familialism. While the shift is evident for all the parties, cross-country differences remain. The comparative historical analysis has pointed out that the specific 'optional familialism' positions taken by the conservative parties over time result from the interaction of constituency-oriented, institutional, contextual and political factors.
