I think liberalism has a strong race-essentialist component where certain races -- specifically the Russians and the Chinese -- are racially communistic, and therefore bad. But also it has definitely ramped up. There was a period between the dissolution of the USSR and the early-2010s where liberal opinion of Russians seemed to be "improving" (they were characterized as drunken stupid untermensch, rather than evil communists).
