Edit: I like how the guy I was replying to provided a whole well thought out list and the mods removed it because he was talking bad about Russia. Classic lemmy

They aren’t. This person is running on Western propaganda and copium fumes.

first-time

A KGB spy and a CIA agent meet up in a bar for a friendly drink.

"I have to admit, I'm always so impressed by Soviet propaganda. You really know how to get people worked up," the CIA agent says.

"Thank you," the KGB says. "We do our best but truly, it's nothing compared to American propaganda. Your people believe everything your state media tells them."

The CIA agent drops his drink in shock and disgust. "Thank you friend, but you must be confused... There's no propaganda in America."

Aside from the first link they’re all Wikipedia, and none of them are considered controversial in the least. This stuff is regularly referenced in scholarly works and covered in college curricula. It’s standard stuff in polysci, public relations, marketing, history, etc.
