@markmetz Poland conquered Moscow once, they most certainly have attacked Russia. It was in the early 1600s. Sweden had just conquered Moscow a couple of years earlier.
Russia's culture enshrines fear of attacks by their neighbors because this happened. European and American forces were operating in the country as recently as 100 or so years ago--and yes, that's recent to them.
I know that modern Sweden won't invade modern Russia, but Russia doesn't really believe it.
