So you are telling me Arkhipov and Petrov where just propaganda figures to promote the “good will” of the soviet union?
You can do that all day long, without hard facts I will not believe you, because both cases have been documented extensively and thoroughly. Ukrainian propaganda is doing a bad job, grasping at straws these days. I’m still 100% behind Ukraine, but negating everything and trying to paint anyone who isn’t in line as the bad guy is straight out of the soviet and russian handbooks.
Painting Russia as the rational side who actually wants peace and the evil West as the warmongers (not just for this war) is a fairy tale and one of the main taking points of Russian propaganda.
I’m not saying you’re on their side but if you parrot them without putting it into perspective, you’re doing their bidding.
I’d never paint Russia as the rational side - which is why the distinction between Russia and the Soviet Union AND the distinction between individuals is important, imho.
That’s a fairy tale - just another piece of Russian propaganda you seem to be unaware of.
