    It is amazing how the soviet archives being opened and completely disproving all this propaganda did literally nothing to stop them. There was essentially not a single propagandist who actually cared about the truth, kind of incredible.

      Not just the archives either. In the 80s there were people who believed that millions of political prisoners would be released by Gorbachev which obviously never happened because they didn’t exist. It’s kinda like people believing that there are still Vietnam War POWs after all this time.
