It sounds ridiculously :) And... I feel indignation, listening to such categorical judgements. Despite of propaganda, simple people thought only good about Americans: that they are liberated, smile much, self-confident and able to earn money.

Minority nationalities (Kazakhs, Uzbeks, Jews, Chechens, etc.) were horribly persecuted by Russians and lived like slaves. There was never enough food to eat. Rock music was illegal. Everybody was always sad. Soviet architecture was bad. The Moscow metro was bad (!!!!!). Things like that. This is because of Western propaganda during the Cold War.

My grandfather was a miner and his income was bigger then my father's income (he is a doctor, psychiatrist!) I dare to say the GOOD workers were never poor.
