You replied with something that has absolutely nothing to do with:

a) the Soviet Union

b) TV shows and movies from the Soviet Union

c) the KGB

What is it you seem to think you got right?

[Apparently my post about the CIA is so important/controversial I am now "posting to fast" AKA banned or at least prevented from replying with my account. What a fucking joke.]

Soviet union no longer exists as such so let's talk of current russia. Hence my link.

From my link: A CBS News story on the launch of Russia Today quoted Boris Kagarlitsky as saying it was "very much a continuation of the old Soviet propaganda services".[10]

But no mention of the gulags then.

What is your point? That they (either Russia or the Soviet Union) engage/d in propaganda?

My comment was that we see Soviet propaganda for what it is, so how do you think you're contradicting or correcting me?
