The Rifleman is still one of my favorites.
Ironically, Leonid Brezhnev loved American westerns. He was a big fan of “The Rifleman”, and there’s a famous image of Chuck Connors giving Brezhnev a bear hug.
I think I read somewhere that Conners’ gifted Brezhnev with a rifle similar to what was used on the show.

I remember when Brezhnev visited the US and Oklahoma. Gov David Hall had him wear a Plains Indian headdress and he looked ridiculous in it. Photo was in either one of the Tulsa newspapers at that time.
