Ive been reading a lot of Russian history lately. The Bolsheviks basically swan dived into an opressive surveillance state right from the starting gun, loooong before any relations with america. The west didnt cause Stalin's purges and they had nothing to do with the Holodomor. People seriously suffered under communism, its genuinely atrocious.
