What I love about English-speaking communities is that articles like this one receive real comments from real people.
It might sound strange, but try to put this kind of article somewhere in Russian and you're guarantied to receive first 10 comments telling you that it's just America trying to destroy the Mighty Russia with this kind of falsehood. And those comments are rarely from common people, even though Cold War ideas are strong in their heads, mostly they are written by paid pro-Kremlin activists or just simple bots.

And you are wrong twice because both kinds of comments seem to originate from real people. This is much more sad than any propaganda machine.
