Okay so I was wondering why Stalin got the most flack of the Cold War propaganda, at least in my experience growing up in the U.S., He’s the only Soviet Leader we were “taught” about. Sorry if this is dumb.
Because he was (and still is) extremely dangerous to the US propaganda machine, seeing as they can’t erase him from history they try to discredit him and “neutralize” his possible influence
