The bottom line is US is vilifying Russia because the US public defaulted on check and balance of the Bush war criminals and Russia had to do it.
The true context of all this is US attacked and murdered its own people on 9-11 and Russia was the ultimate stopper of it. That's why US is now using flagrant propaganda to vilify Russia.
Trump used the truthful suggestion of all this to get himself elected.
I have a slightly different theory about why Russia has been the chosen projection for the US Shadow - apart from a continuation the cold war, that is. After all, the more obvious choice of enemy today is China which is larger in almost every respect than Russia.
But Russia is the grand enemy because Europe must remain deeply embedded inside the American military backed neoliberal order and there are real fears that both the EU and NATO are breaking apart. If that happens, it is quite possible Europe will realign closer to Russia and away from the Anglo-Americans, and the latter are terrified that such a realignment will finish off their long-running shell game.
In support of this theory I reference Stratfor's George Friedman address to the Chicago Council on Global Affairs in early 2015 (HERE) where he stated:
Once again, he said, Germany is "Europe's basic flaw," a country that is "economically powerfully and geopolitically fragile." Split off from its EU ties, it could once again look east to revive the age-old fear of "German capital and technology plus Russian resources and manpower"an alliance that the EU was supposed to bury forever.
"An alliance that the EU was supposed to bury forever". Note that the birth of EU was financed by and under the guidance of the CIA in the post WWII years.
It is this fear that motivates NATO (another US construct and wholly dominated by the US too) to surround Russia with military bases and to keep the pressure against Russia ticking over all the time --- the most recent being the recent arrival of American tanks and forces to nations bordering Russia.
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
