Samantha Smith was such a threat that she was killed ,along with 7 others, in a plane crash to keep her quiet.

Then they used her death as a huge propaganda tool in the USSR.

Excerpt: There was no question in the mind of the Soviet teacher with whom I spoke, however, that Samantha's death was the result of a bomb placed on the plane at the order of the U.S. president. The teacher's question was, why? He confirmed that his elementary school had been so told and was confident that the information was true.
