===Russia=== {{further|Russia–United Kingdom relations|Anglo-Saxons (slur)}} After the [[Anglo-Russian War (1807–1812)|Anglo-Russian War]], during which Britain plundered Russian shipping and raided the coast, the alliance against Napoleon was renewed. Despite this, [[the Great Game]] gave rise to a wave of widespread Anglophobia in Russia, accompanied by fear of English interference and intervention. Which is what [[Crimean War|happened later]]. During the [[Russo-Japanese War]], there was a sentiment in Russia that England was behind Japan's militarism against Russia in the Far East, leading to a strained relationship between Britain and Russia.<ref>{{cite news|date=27 February 1904|title=Anglophobia in Russia. Among all classes.|page=11|newspaper=[[The Sydney Morning Herald]]|url=https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/14602878}}</ref> The UK and Russia were allies in [[World War I]] until the Bolshevik Revolution of 1918, after which the British [[Allied intervention in the Russian Civil War|again attacked Russian soil]] and the capitalist West became the target of the new [[Communist International]] ("Comintern"). In 1924, these tensions were briefly cooled when the Labour government of Prime Minister [[Ramsay MacDonald]] formally recognized the Soviet Union and established diplomatic relations between the two countries. The two were allies again starting in 1941. During the [[Cold War]], Britain firmly sided with the West against the Soviet Union and the relationship between the two continues to remain dubious even today.<ref>{{cite news|last=Bullough|first=Oliver|date=13 November 2019|title=The toxic relationship between Britain and Russia has to be exposed|newspaper=[[The Guardian]]|url=https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/nov/13/relationship-britain-russia-money-report}}</ref> Before [[2018 FIFA World Cup]], there had been controversies regarding Anglophobia in Russia.<ref>{{cite news|last=Beswick|first=Emma|date=8 June 2018|title=Foreign office warns football fans of 'anti-British sentiment' in Russia|publisher=[[Euronews]]|url=https://www.euronews.com/2018/06/08/foreign-office-warns-football-fans-of-anti-british-sentiment-in-russia}}</ref> [[File:Yellow Kid 1896-3-15.jpg|thumb|430px|Slum children in New York City drilling under anti-English placards, "Yellow kid" cartoon by [[Richard F.
