A day will come when no propaganda will be useful, everything will change then. In the end of the day there is not much doubt that the US, FOR ITS OWN CITIZENS is far more democratic than Russia and has a lower crime rate, corruption and alcoholism though, no propaganda can change this.
The problem is that also the west has its share of wrongdoings and the world will actually improve only when we start to give everyone's life - honestly - the same exact value.

A lower level of traditional corruption, but many more forms of "legitimized" corruption (campaign finance, pork-barrel quid pro quo). More democratic, but mostly for those who can afford a good lawyer. It's not a competition: both states have deep systemic problems with regards to human rights, which is "worse" is meaningless. The vast majority of mainstream news in both has about a 10-to-1 ratio of paid propaganda (which includes distractions and noise) to substantive news, whether it's Moscow or advertisers who foot the bill.
