You might find this book interesting, it’s called a History of Russophobia by Guy Mettan, and it really goes way back to the schism of east/west churches and all kinds of ways in which the west has hated Russia for a thousand years. Immediately thought of it when I started reading your post.

Schisms? You want schisms? Research the origin of Sunni v.s. Shia, now there's a schism!
The schism happened when the prophet died. It's all about whether leadership of Islam derives from merit (Sunni) or simple inheritance (Shia). I believe the numbers were 10x Sunni for every Shia, demonstrating the relative virtue of the two approaches.
