“Really?”
Yes, really.
“When did America invade?”
1918. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allied_intervention_in_the_Russian_Civil_War
“Someone sure did.”
A number of nations did. That has nothing to do with what we’re talking about.
“And how, exactly did the system liberalize after Kenin and Stalin if propaganda was so effective?”
By order of Khrushchev and the Politburo in the 1950s and then again by Gorbachev and the Politburo in the 1980s.
“Gee, these are tough questions.”
Actually, no, they were pathetically easy. If they are tough for you, then maybe you’re out of your depths. Think on that.
Silly.
“Invade” as in take over, and you know it, but you’re playing dumb.
No, Russians did not liberalize because of Khruschev-—but even if they did, it was precisely because of what I just pointed out to you. Despite 100% control over the media, entertainment, the arts, the Soviets really controlled nothing and couldn’t keep control over anything. And, yes, these were apparently very tough questions for you, if you didn’t know that the Soviet communists had 100% control over the media, arts, and entertainment.
