The way I understand it, is that the Cold War was actually a War, although we forget about it, but the propaganda arms of the governments did not allow anyone to be a human being, you must be either a heroic figure or a villain. Maybe it is human nature to idealize, and in conflict to hyper-idealize.
The thing we also don't hear about, is his book "Two hundred years together", which IIRC was never even translated because it was so anti-semitic.
- patrickg_zill 8y agoMinor correction - "Two Hundred Years Together" was never (edit: officially) translated into English; but was translated into French and German at the least.
- wavefunction 8y agoI have come across a PDF that purports to be an English translation though I haven't had the time to read it yet. Nor is my Russian or French good enough to determine if it's legitimate, however it seems to be. There is no attribution on the translation, either.
