It was fabricated. An old BBC documentary showed the US side ("kill the commies") and the USSR side ("we love America!"). The Soviets interview in the street were normal nice people and wished Americans peace and prosperity, while the yanks reacted like hypnotised, violent freaks. So, it was entirely (edit: mostly) one-sided, and another psy-op to keep US citizens under control. And, yes, the BBC used to be decent.
edit: as an aside, you only have to watch Russian politics in action. Putin is thoughtful and reflective when he speaks, and even offers congratulations to the Americans when they make an achievement, or wishes them luck. American politicians (mostly) rave on like lunatics, or , like Obama, talk in circles without saying anything substantial at all.
Eisenhower was spot on about the Military Industrial Complex. We called USSR our enemy, yet sent them wheat, and artificially kept the Ruble 1:1 with the dollar.
Not a boomer but never observed anything close to that. The Russian position was mirrored on both sides. However, communism and communists were and are loathed. Good Americans loath communists to this day.
I believe you conflated what was going on and why.
"The Russian position was mirrored on both sides." I'd like to here a Russian's input on that. The evidence tells us it existed on both sides, but to a far greater degree on the US side.
"Good Americans loath communists to this day." I cant tell if you are being serious, because it's so ridiculous.
"I believe you conflated what was going on and why." You can believe anything you like, but you'd be better off looking for evidence yourself.
Why? I have first hand observation in agreement with many others in full agreement. You have a stupid statement that claims moral, righteous, and correct is somehow absurd.
Lol.
Bbc is your evidence? No one in America was trained to hate Russia. We just hate commie fucks. Or at least that used to be the case then the school turned out commies all over the place and now they all want to steal our shit and make the country a shit hole.
I despise communists no matter which country they infest not Russians. Russians are our brothers
yanks were hypnotized, violent freaks
they were, but they still are, too
Thanks for the comment.
