Anti-Soviet propaganda is reaching levels that I thought were not possible.
- fnordpiglet 4y agoReally? You must not have been alive during the Cold War 1 Edit: watch Red Dawn, read the article, and comment back with your comparison of treatment of Soviet Russia. In my reading of the article the only negative statement about the Soviet society was the statement that they lied about the time of death and fictionalized the science for propaganda. The rest of it reads as a humanizing story of the dog and it’s experience without a specific political agenda. I could very well have imagined any other society as the context. I feel you must be overly sensitized to have read this as anti Soviet.
- squarefoot 4y agoI also found the timing of the post a bit odd. Given the recent events I would think twice before publishing or linking to anything that could be interpreted as propaganda in either direction. I am writing this as a 100% pro-Ukraine guy.
- JKCalhoun 4y agoI definitely see your point, but hate self-censorship for "perceived reception".
- philwelch 4y agoUkraine was also part of the Soviet Union, so it doesn't really make sense to try and equivocate between the USSR and modern Russia.

- azubinski 4y agoThe best anti-Soviet propaganda so far is the experience of life under Soviet rule. Try to avoid this as much as possible.
- jryle70 4y agoAnd here we are, a post that defends the Soviet in 2022. Something I thought was impossible, talking as someone who had the (mis)fortune of living under the communists.
