Right wingers especially if American have in their genes anti communism or anything left of libertarianism as evil, think house of unamerica activities McCarthy reds under the beds scare. Russia is equated with communism so one in the same.

Lots of info here also a huge lot of effort for an obscure topic as every new country steals from the old as did America and the cotton mills from England, Japanese vehicles and motor bike from England, China from whomever wanted cheap labour for the manufacturing requirements.

Ignorant people always have these irrational phobias/hatreds/xenophobia and Russia and Russians are an easy target for them.

If you feel the urge a dive into the period just before and after Lenin's death would be interesting from a Trotskyist, Stalinist perspective, keep up the good work doc.

Still it seems to me that there is overcorrection with the jewish question. While supposedly no one dared to call out " the jews " although everyone on X, on all sort of "conspiracy" circles and websites is writing about "the jews", none of them went to prison, now it is somewhat mainstream to think "the jews" are running everything. But no matter how mainstream it is, it still makes no sense. If "the jews" were running the Soviet union, why its worse now? Stalin actually worked with the Eastern establishment in the US who are much more progressive it seems. The British hated Russia as they hate them now and used their nazi puppets, then their jewish puppets to destroy Russia. But here is a problem. Now the jewish-russian-british mafiozos are somewhat family in looting but they hate each other. Putin wants all of them to be one big family but they don't. Its a problem.
